    It actually saves on resources because it’s not loading in CSS and JS. Also I like the look, been using boost long before it was a Lemmy client.

      It actually saves on resources because it’s not loading in CSS and JS.

      I see no evidence of that: I’m pretty sure all clients load a web engine and related resources including CSS, which means you’re installing a redundant, special-purpose web client when you already have a general web client installed. Plus, lacking basic functionality as OP states makes it the opposite of useful.

        That’s a wild assumption. Lenmy has a well documented API that wouldn’t pass on frontend-related things.

        Making a client scrape the frontend seems like a lot of work for a worse result.

        This is an idiotic assertion which makes me feel dumb that I even stopped scrolling for your pointless vitriol.
