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? :)

Just started work on an iOS client today using React Native. Honestly, the lemmy-js-client is pretty straight forward even if you're just using typehints from Typescript. Interesting issue is dealing with comments and getting those properly sorted and creating the comment chains. If you want to chat and have Discord, add me: gk#5175

Have you created a GitHub repo where I can follow the progress?

Can this be used as a browser client, without iOS/Android.... on Chrome/Firefox?

Yes, it is a native app, not a web client.
