I disagree with all and every single point you made, to the point that I think the complete opposite about most of them. So I guess those are subjective, not objective issues, and the game is not for everyone. I don’t think every game has to be for everyone, but it’s clear looking at popularity, sells, and cultural impact, that both BotW and TotK are liked by a huge amount of people just as they are. And I for one would definitely like to have a third installment.
Yep. It’s never an issue to fill a message board with memes and cats, the hard part is filling the niche communities. I hope it gets there.
Hmm… that’s interesting, I didn’t think about that. Definitely not gonna proxy, that’s for sure, I wanted it to be serverless.
Welp, I don’t know how it could be done then. I would ping Dessalines or Nutomic, but I haven’t really decided to start working on this, so I won’t bother them. But if anyone feels like going for it, I’ll be happy to lend a hand.
Edit: I just saw there’s an open PR to allow CORS. I guess we’ll see how it goes.
I took a look at lemmy-ui, but I’d much rather work on something more static and detached.
Looking at the conversations they are having on GitHub, that doesn’t seem like a great idea. If I was going to contribute to the main repo, it would be to help with whatever they are doing, not to push ideas that they are not looking to implement at this time. They are working on rewriting the UI anyway. I really don’t see what would be the problem with having an alternative front for people with different tastes that those of the devs.
It’s simpler than creating a whole separate client
Maybe. But I wasn’t really looking for the simplest way to tweak the UI, I’m already doing that with my own scripts. Making a web client with a different UI that people can fork and make their own just sounds like a cool project to work on.
Let’s say I start with something simple, like moving everything to the left of the screen instead of centering it. People like OP and me would like that, but from the POV of the lemmy devs, that’s quite a shit PR, isn’t it?
I would rather have a web client that can go in a different direction UI-wise, and if they like anything there, they can take it for the main web UI. And of course, there are many other advantages of a client, like using multiple accounts from different instances.
Edit: I also like the idea of a simple client anyone can fork and modify to their taste.
If anyone wants to work on a web client for Lemmy, let me know. I’m thinking about it, but seems like a lot of works for just one person.
You all know this ain’t happening, right?
