Just a random idea- but,

Would anyone be interested in having a .net based blazor front end for lemmy?

Sadly, there isn't yet a c# nuget package, but, that wouldn't be hard to fix.

The API itself, is pretty well documented.

And, building custom front-ends is encouraged as well.

Ah, that's fair - haven't encountered anything weird with it yet. I can imagine with chatgpt it's become much easier though - I need to start giving AI tools a try. Do you have a particular set up for using chatgpt with rider or anything?

No setup at all, just strip-mine the sourcecode for the existing TS client, have it generate curl requests. Run the curls, ask it to create POCOs for the results, and adjust.

@pwshguy@programming.dev wrote a pwsh module for lemmy and can attest to the troubles =D
