I love the app, first and foremost. It’s hands-down the best way to view Lemmy posts, and it feels amazing to scroll and interact with.

When I click a link that opens in a browser, though, it opens without any frame around it and can’t open into any third party apps. I know it may not impact everyone, but for me this is pretty difficult to get around. Some use cases:

  • I clicked the link to view Liftoff! in the Play Store, and I couldn’t click to actually download the app. Sure, I already have this installed, but it could happen for other apps.
  • I was reading an article that I wanted to share externally, but the menu for my browser wasn’t available to share that content.
  • I clicked a YouTube video and wanted to watch it in the official app instead of the browser. There was no way to open the link in another app.

Again, loving the app but this would make it so much cooler!

    Same. Unfortunately I have exactly 0 experience with mobile app development in general, let alone flutter… Damn, now I gotta learn that

      my experience is making one mobile app in Java, so learning flutter was easy in some aspects, but hard in others. the best benefit though of learning flutter is that there’s one codebase for both ios and android. it’s awesome.
