This is my attempt at an oldschool, beefed-up desktop app for Lemmy for those of us who yearn for that kind of experience.
Currently it only does reading, if people use it I'll work on comment support too.

If you want to give it a spin, you can download the flatpak file from here and run it.

I haven’t even downloaded yet but just from the screenshot I love it and the idea. Also, what are you using for that Windows 7 look? I’m assuming it’s not actually Windows 7. I’m realizing I miss that and that was kind of peak computing to me, or at least the best Windows offered.

it kinda looks like they’ve built it using windows forms which iirc defaults to a windows 7 design style when previewing it (i could be wrong tho)
