Hi everybody, I’m a UI/UX designer and I wanna contribute to the community here with my expertise. Here is a quick prototype for a Android Lemmy app with Material You Design, it’s a simple and customizable app. With this app, I also want to improve the experience when exploring different servers.
Obviously, this is just a concept, so if any developer interest, I’m very willing to collaborate with 🫡 . Vice versa, if anyone stucks with designing his/her own Lemmy client, just reach out to me and I will give you a hand.
Yes that’s great. I looked at the Figma file but seeing stuff moving around on a screen is very powerful. I think this looks like a huge improvement and it tones down a few of the stronger elements making it pass better as an iOS app. Have you worked in iOS at all?
Stu has already put a mock-up of some of these ideas in place and it’s looking very exciting!
hey this looks really similar to a proposal that was made on github for jerboa. Jerboa is also really focused on material UI so maybe it would be best to combine efforts and help each other out.
I switched to Liftoff. I was on Jerboa for the last few weeks as I figured things out, but liftoff is much smoother and has yet to give me an error code
Noted. I was also considering where should I put the title as well. This is just a quick prototype to find out whether any dev is interested in collaboration, so just take it with a grain of salt 😉
I’m putting the final touches on an app using material design. I’ve broken away from cards and haven’t even considered a light mode yet, but I’ve been pretty unhappy with the search/explorer
This is beautiful, and a perfect example post you used there. I know it’s not a release but it makes me wish I had an Android phone to test it anyway lol

Hi there, thanks for this. Could you rate the video? It’s asking me to logon without a rating.
Fixed, could you check again

Personally prefer to read the title before the image. It’s one of the reasons I don’t use the Connect app
The connect app now has that as a setting, if that makes a difference for you.
Cool. Thanks
Me too. That’s what keeps me on jerboa for now.

top would be preferable.
often the title is needed in order to understand the picture - or the picture is the “punchline” to a joke set up by the text.
This is something that has been disturbing me with Thunder app, Connect in their latest versions added a switch for this!
I’m using Connect and your can meme the title be before the image in the settings, that’s what I did
Thanks, must be a recent update. I’ll check it out!
I’ve mostly committed to Connect, and can confirm there’s an option near the bottom to select where to put the title in relation to the picture.
Great work, but super clickbait title.
lol, my bad, I used to be a content writer so it kinda runs in my blood =))) anw, updated for more accurate title
Keeping a native OS UI design language for an app is very nice. Apollo was a great example of this!
I’d love to see Android’s version of the same thing.
Wow that front page looks like sync 😁
lol, I use basic components from material library so it should be familiar :)))
Wow! Nice one. I think if we all keep contributing Lemmy will be like VLC. Let’s do it !!
I think Liftoff would benefit for a Material You UI.
Same. One of the reasons I don’t use it. I think a reason they don’t priotise is because it supports both android and iOS. Not all users would see it.
Yeah I get it, although Thunder is available for both platforms as well, and Material You looks awesome.
Only reason I’m not using it
Looking very good. I’m on iOS, but I would definitely use an app that look as good as that, as long as it performed good as well.
Congratulations and keep up the good work.
“Video is not rated. Log in to watch”
Nope.
Can you try again? I think it’s fine now
'fraid not. Still requires login :(
Still not working for me without logging in
Works for me without login in
It works for me.
I’m a fullstack dev building my own app for Lemmy. I’d be interested in opening a dialogue if you’re interested. UI/UX is my weak point :P
Awesome, I just sent u a message
Just like wefwef is nice for iOS, this seems nice for android
Wefwef works great on Android. Supposedly it looks like Apollo, but so what?
It works well even on my linux desktop. But in terms of design fits best into iOS
It very much looks like an iphone app. All the text and the ui elements fit apples theming and looks out of place in android.
Not to say it doesn’t work well or isnt a good app, because it is, but a lot of us are looking for a unified experience.
I’m using thunder, which fits in nicely. Uses Material You theming as well
hell i use wefwef on my linux tablet
I’m putting the final touches on an app using material design. I’ve broken away from cards and haven’t even considered a light mode yet, but I’ve been pretty unhappy with the search/explorer
This just got me unstuck on it, so thanks
Awesome, glad I can help. I also have some design outside of the cards, you can check it out in the Figma link for more inspiration
I don’t know why, but this exchange felt of fucking romantic. Keep up the good work you amazing people!

very cool! we need more ux/ui designers in open source and free software!
