I can't help. There is no license, so your app is proprietary. What are the goals and what needs to be implemented?

Just added the Apache License.

Goals:

Better UI (I am aiming for old.reddit) for lemmy with a new design (repetitive icons, hard to distinguish comments, terrible mobile UI) and fixing common issues, like freezing, spinners loading forever, etc.
Single codebase for web, native Android and iOS apps. This is possible with Svelte + Capacitor.
Svelte codebase which I believe will be far easier to develop on.
Rethink how communities are browsed/integrated as alluded to in this post. This is my end goal, but I need to have some discussions about what this will exactly look like.

My current goal is to just get the site working with all/most of the existing functionality. For that there is a lot to do. Profile/settings page, comment replies, community browser/subscriptions to name a few.

Thank you! Would you be open to using a Copyleft license like GPL? Or is that not possible when releasing the app to mobile stores?
