Wefwef looks nice and I really want to like it but I keep tapping the back button and getting sent all the way back to my communities list, and therefore losing my spot in the scroll. It’s getting old really fast.
PWA always have a ton of UI quirks that make them hard to use. It’s a cool idea and I wish they would take off but they just aren’t there and I’m not sure wefwef will be able to overcome that, as good as it looks.
As a non-programmer, I’m confused about this issue. I’m able to switch tabs on the bottom bar without losing the feed. I can also search for a community and look at its content without losing my main feed using the search feature.
That suggests two feeds can be present. So what gives? Why can’t my main feed by cached when looking at the community list and then restored if I go back to the same feed option? I’m just curious if this is an implementation issue or a limit outside their control.
Little update for anyone stumbling across this: it’s now called Voyager (https://vger.app) and is also available as a native app (web wrapper, but still):
Not a native app, but i’m using the wefwef web app, and it’s pretty awesome and getting multiple updates a day.
It’s a web based clone of Apollo

I second wefwef. Incredible app, very close to Apollo.
Any plans to make it an iOS app that you know of?
Memmy is great too!
It’s a PWA which means you can install it on any phone
They are actually planning on submitting to the App Store, but it’s still going to be a pwa

Same here. I never thought I’d love a webapp so much, but here I am…
Great app!
