For those uninformed:

Reddit Sync's dev is already working on Sync for Lemmy, and Artemis for Lemmy/kbin is heavily inspired by Apollo; will even be on both ios and android

@git Jerboa isn't terribly bad but I understand why people think it isn't good.

I'm hoping the Infinity dev makes one for kbin though, would be a great fit

Infinity dev is not making one. If the API shim works well it'll get forked by someone (it's open source) and it will work with Lemmy.

I thought about doing something similar as a labor of love but realized I've currently got dozens of projects in the works and would never really have the time. Between that and how shitty a very vocal minority of people can be to developers, I lost interest very quickly.

It's alright but one big issue I've been having with it is the app not keeping my place when going back from viewing a post. Like I'll be viewing some community by top of all time and when I'm 15 posts deep I'll click one, go back and it resets me to the top of the list.

I like Jerboa personally. I use the web app for kbin and quickly get annoyed and go back to lemmy on jerboa. But then I'm back to kbin because kbin's /all/hot sort works properly and lemmy's, while improving, is more like /all/rising.

Limitless_screaming 2 points 3 years ago

TL;DR: big elements cause annoying scroll-bars to appear.

My username is very big, so when I open this page on a mobile I get a horizontal scroll-bar for the entire page.

In CSS there's a property called overflow which lets you decide how you want elements that contain elements wider or taller than them to behave. So you can solve this problem by simply making that element itself scroll instead of the entire page by using overflow: scroll, or hide the child elements by using overflow: hidden;.

You can also solve these problems by dealing with the child elements for example: using the word-wrap property to allow word wrapping, using the hyphens property to break words with hyphens, or in this case use the HTML wbr tag to allow line breaking after every underscore, or even cut the longer words and append three dots to them; so my user name would look like this: "Limitless_s...".
