Is anyone working on a Lemmy client for Emacs? (lemmy.sdf.org)

The lack of keyboard interface on Lemmy is killing me, but really what I want is a good client in Emacs. However, it's beyond my Elisp to design and start such a project, but I could probably help. Anyone on it?

Help the world and start learning Elisp while writing a Lemmy client.

The point is there are people out there who are very familiar with the options for making this, who could easily kick-start a solution that would be more rational and better designed and based on a well conceived base. If I were to do it I would re-invent the wheel and flail around with awkward solutions.

I do know Elisp and have written packages so am at a basic-intermediate level. I just recognize that experience has benefits and I could contribute best by enhancing and fixing someone else's base design.

I'm not forcing you, but "re-invent the wheel" is a bit misconception when Lemmy itself is in the very early development stage.

You misunderstand me. I mean reinventing the wheel of the various functions the solution requires. The actual communication with Lemmy will be a tiny fraction of the work.
