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!

    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.

          I’ve wanted to incorporate these for a while now, and I’ve just been putting it off primarily for performance reasons while loading multiple feeds concurrently. I finally found a solution that handles this quite well, so I’m definitely excited to incorporate groups.

          I’ve been holding out hoping that lemmy would incorporate this in the API, which I believe they have planned, but with the fragmentation of communities on Lemmy, I’d like to add support for this sooner rather than later.
