TODO
- Possible compatibility issues with older iOS devices. Let me know if you encounter an issue! I’ll be cleaning up the code in the meantime.
- The only class not written by me is the markdown-html translation layer for which I’m using snarkdown. It does so using regex queries. As to not completely re-invent the wheel I’ve forked it for this purpose, but I’d like to write one myself.

I’ve noticed that a more detailed writeup is warranted! So I’ll be working on that.
CORS is enabled on lemmy, you have to send the ‘Origin’ header in order to get the Access-Control headers. Which allows cross-origin for simple requests. No added headers, cookies or other data. So all API calls are made in JS by your browser.
