I might just be paranoid but is wefwef.app safe? Any of you guys use it?
I’m primarly curious how much of wefwef is proxied versus directly pulled from instance.
Open source, so anyone can look through the code, or self host it even.
When you install wefwef on your phone, aren’t you essentially hosting it since it is a standalone application running on your phone?
As far as I understand even with the web app installed currently everything has to be proxied because CORS but that will hopefully change in the future. Reference: https://github.com/aeharding/wefwef/releases
It‘s a progressive web app, which is a little different than a website; it’s built in HTML/JS like a website, but has no server. You can install it on your device and it talks directly to your Lemmy instance. In effect it’s no different from any other Lemmy app except for being built in web programming languages instead of Swift/Kotlin (app programming languages).
