Download Arctic on the AppStore!

I am thrilled to announce that Arctic is now available on the AppStore! Looking back, it's amazing to see how much progress Arctic has made in the last six months. Initially, I began working on Arctic as a personal project to fill the void after leaving Reddit during the API fiasco. I had no intention of releasing it publicly. Now, I have a fully-featured Lemmy client, a fantastic group of beta testers on TestFlight, and an official release on the AppStore.

However, the journey isn't over yet. I have many exciting plans for Arctic, and this is just a significant milestone. Going forward, I plan to release more targeted updates on TestFlight and create a public roadmap for AppStore releases.

I would like to thank everyone who was involved with Arctic's TestFlight for all the valuable feedback and suggestions that have helped shape Arctic!

I didn’t quite get them ready yesterday, but I almost have the first set of post feed widgets ready.

large medium small options

I’ll hopefully have these ready by tomorrow, I still have a bit to do improving the layout and adding variants for the display style. I have a bunch of other ideas for widgets too, but if you have any requests, I’m happy to add them to the list.

Those look great! My only request is the ability to show from multiple communities from my home feed. Thank you

I think I have this first set of widgets ready to go. I should hopefully be able to release them tomorrow.

About the multiple communities, do you mean multiple communities in the same widget, or different communities for different widgets?

Right now you can select an account and use your home feed (subscriptions) as the listing type. Or you can choose individual communities for different widgets. If you mean multiple communities in the same widget, this may have to wait until I add support for community groups in Arctic just because the widget settings UI would not allow for configuring multiple communities in a user friendly way.

As for community groups in Arctic, I actually stumbled upon something the other day that resolves one of my key concerns about community groups, so I may be adding support for those very soon.

Oh nice, yes if it will already show posts from whichever would show in subscribed home feed then that's perfect. Looking forward to them (っ˘ڡ˘ς)!

Only other request I might have for the app as a whole would be to create an "All" view when viewing a user's profile, which shows both posts/comments in chronological order. Thanks!

Perfect, I’ll either release the widgets tomorrow morning, or in the evening when I get home.

An all feed is definitely a good idea! I was actually planning to completely rewrite the profile view. So I can surely incorporate that in the process. Actually I’d make that the default feed for the profile rather than comments. Thanks, I hadn’t even really thought about that.
