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.

How come I can’t see the Lemmy comments on your blog?
Good question, it’s a design choice. Being attached to my name I had no interest in needing to moderate which comments should and shouldn’t be showing up under my name. There is a direct link to the posts on lemmy where they can be interacted with.
A second concern is XSS, with my own content I have no worries.
