Hi folks!

I am a new convert coming over from Reddit. I want to build out a Lemmy React Native client. Woo!

I'm very familiar with frontend dev and react (been doing so for a solid chunk of my career), however I am quite new to the Fediverse and not entirely sure how to build federated applications.

I see the lemmy-js-client which will likely help me tremendously, but it's not terribly documented.

Anyone else out there hacking on a TypeScript/React based Lemmy client and willing to share notes? :)

I just started on a lemmy web client (with typescript/next.js) as well! My goal is to make the federation experience (browsing other instances, switching between accounts across instances, etc.) better, as i think it's a bit rough at the moment.

lemmy-js-client is very nice in that it has input and return types for everything, but I agree that the docs could be better (it can be unclear on what each prop does).
