if i reply i usually open the whole thread anyways
I’ve noticed on both the official web UI and Thunder that the permalinks don’t always scroll to the right comment. Lemminator only shows the relevant part of the conversation, e.g. https://lemminator.netlify.app/c/lemmyapps/post/3824810/comment/2824106.
The former. The comment reply contains a path parameter listing the IDs of all its ancestors. I take its direct ancestor and fetch it.
What error were you seeing? If it’s unrelated to Lemmy.world downtime, I might be able to help.
Interesting, I hadn’t considered that before.
Suppose I modified Lemminator’s search bar so you could paste a link like https://lemmy.ml/comment/1234 or https://lemmy.ml/post/5678 in it and press Enter to navigate to the relevant comment/post within the web UI. I could automatically infer that these are permalinks from other instances. Would that help at all?
A readonly prototype is available at https://lemminator.netlify.app/ right now ;)
Its working title is Lemminator. You can try a readonly prototype at https://lemminator.netlify.app/ right now.
I have a readonly prototype up at https://lemminator.netlify.app/!
I don’t have macOS/iOS available to test on, but in theory it should. I have a prototype up and running at https://lemminator.netlify.app/.
I’ll take it into consideration! My first focus will be on enabling more basic functionality like upvoting, downvoting and commenting. Right now it’s still read-only.
No worries. Here’s to freedom of choice!
Yes. Maybe GPL, maybe MIT, maybe something else. But some flavor of open source license.
Awesome. Read-only browsing is fairly stable at this point, but I think I’ll need to have basic account interactions like upvote, downvote and comment implemented before I have a minimum viable product. In general, I prefer to polish the experience before expanding the feature set.
Lemminator is a web UI that aims to make Lemmy more approachable for a broad non-technical audience. It can be hosted by Lemmy instance owners, and Lemmy.world users can use https://lemminator.netlify.app/.
