Facebook had enough engineers and computing power did Facebook kill Snapchat or TikTok? I believe the original idea can win at the end whenever you have in hand to compete.
Did google kill Facebook with google+? Did microsoft kill android with windows phone?
I don’t know, i might be wrong!
In fact there is already an RTL fork of lemmy-ui which could help you get started.
i saw this one, as i had a discussion about it on Github.
I absolutely don’t mind merging any changes with Lemmy as will pay for this by one way or another, all is care about for now to find a developer who can implement all these changes.
1-I will ask someone to help with the RTL.
2- Card View on mobile is very important, so yes that’s to be done as well. (I don’t like the current view of Lemmy on mobile) Hexbear.net on mobile is good.
3- I will ask the developer to add Q&A option to the posting form, when the option is checked, a Q&A label must be shown next to the title of that post.
4- Fields for sponsored links to fund the service. Donations culture is not that big in my place.
5- The homepage on desktop will be redesigned, the list of posts will be in the middle, with 2 sidebars, on the left and right.
I tested it for codes, it works. espcially with PHP.
