It’s my, general, understanding that most people connect to the Internet through mobile apps.

If this is the case, then why have apps such as Remmel, Lemmur and jerboa taken a back seat?

IMHO, it would be a mistake to market Lemmy without these mobile apps functioning properly.

I have forked the three aforementioned mobile apps here and will try to ‘drum up’ support from developers wherever I can find them.

Please, if you don’t feel comfortable talking to me about this here, then send me a private message. Thank you.

    Two examples:

    • Notifications in real time: not just by email or having to maintain the browser open and without sound.
    • Sharing using the own sharing dialogs.

    However, I personally use the website by now and rely on email notifications.

        I have it like that but notifications doesn’t seem to be supported or, at least, with the application closed.

        Also the sound and light seem to be specific of the whole browser applications as far as I could test right know.

      I stand corrected on the utility of app exclusive features. I never considered it, but I suppose I rather like how I don’t get notifications through lemmur. Though I understand how that’s a hassle for others who want them.
