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.

Just, gonna add-
If I end up building the front-end for this, is gonna end up looking like a bootstrap example website!!!
Figuring out how to actually put a package on nuget, but I have fully implemented the API
https://github.com/SlyCedix/dotNETLemmy/tree/main
https://slycedix.github.io/dotNETLemmy/I intend to write a mobile app using Avalonia UI using it
Do note, it’s mostly untested so there’s a good chance a handful of the datatypes won’t serialize or deserialize correctly, but that’s an easy fix once found
edit: Uploaded to nuget, currently being validated
Digging into this one now- does appear there is also Lemmy.Net.Client now too.
I think that would be great! I started working on a Azure Functions bot and started a DI dotnet client that I put on nuget https://github.com/ydinkov/Lemmy.Net
It’s super wip right now, but Ill be adding more models, tests and error handling.
Just out of interest, why not use refit for something like this? You could get a basic client going much faster - unless there’s some specific behaviour you want for the client (which would require painful customisation with refit).
I’ve come to be quite a fan of refit recently purely for how quick you can get a basic, working client
I like refit too! It’s super nice, but very quickly i realised the API does some weird undocumented stuff and isn’t very consistently implemented. I feel more comfortable doing the boilerplate my myself (chatgpt helps) while i figure out the funk.
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?
