   @developerjustin @davidbures you can see all the api routes in this file: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/src/api_routes_http.rs#L108

   the api documentation should definitely be improved, but its better to have a setup where docs are generated automatically.

     @davidbures I totally would! The documentation was definitely a hurdle for me because the link redirects to a JS client right now. I did a bit of spelunking and guessing until I found the 3-4 calls I’ve needed so far. I have to imagine the WebSocket API is a night and day difference though. How are you handling the migration? Just call by call or trying to automate it somehow?

     @davidbures I was originally using RSS to see if the UI could even be built on an iPad but then dropped in HTTP once I had feeds loading. Mlem looks awesome! Hoping enough people even want a read-only client 😂

     @developerjustin I think there definitely is a market for your client ;) Mlem is login-only, so I think if you really focus on your client being very lightweight and not requiring users to log in, it will find its footing for sure!

     I was asking about the backend because Mlem is using WebSockets which are going away soon, and I’m really struggling with the HTTP backend, so I wanted to ask if you’d like to cooperate 😄

     @developerjustin @mastowatch Sick! Are you using the HTTP or WebSocket backend?

     I’ve gotta come up with a cool name for but I’ve got a (mostly) working read-only #lemmy client built entirely in #SwiftUI on my iPad. I like the idea of an app built specifically for lurkers with no auth required (pairs well with @mastowatch!) and it scratches my own itch for #Reddit because I very rarely posted. #TestFlight soon?
