Just a random idea- but,
Would anyone be interested in having a .net based blazor front end for lemmy?
Sadly, there isn’t yet a c# nuget package, but, that wouldn’t be hard to fix.
The API itself, is pretty well documented.
And, building custom front-ends is encouraged as well.

That’s a good idea. I would like to experiment with some ideas where one could have an RSS reader together with a lemmy client. But the ideas are too raw and I’m not yet sure if it’s feasible.
Maybe I misunderstood, but it sounds like you are looking for “team mates” to develop a lemmy client. Or was it just a suggestion to others?
Well, honestly- I am a backend person. I can build a functional UI, it’s just not pretty. (Its going to be very vanilla bootstrap-ish)
As well, in terms of unit testing, I have done tons of it for back-end, but, very little for front-end.
So- assuming I dedicated the time to start building libraries to interact with lemmy, I’d need some help on the front end, at least, for a product that would receive use outside of my homelab.
That makes sense. Same here (backend dev). Good luck with the project. Keep us posted! Maybe it will attract some designers over time.
