Hi,

I tried to look up the dev on his page and social media accounts. He didn’t post anything since months, and I believe this promising App along all of his profiles became abandoned.

I don’t want to speculate about the reasons, as there could be plentiful legit ones. I hope everyone involved is up and happy. I’ll start to look for a substitute for Arctic.

I don’t mean to self promote as it’s very possible something happened to the dev. Hope they are ok.

But I have my own lemmy/piefed client, Blorp, and I’d be happy to have you! I’m actively working on it and feature requests are welcome.

    Hi, I’d really like to test it, but your application is not available on the french Apple Store.

    But you are actually self promoting 🤣

    I’ve seen the App in the store and decided against it… based on the icon. 🫣

    And now based on the features.

    I know, it’s tough. I try my best to strike a balance between self promo and supporting apps. I’ve managed to open some communication behind the scenes between most of the lemmy client devs. And I fully support people using apps that best fit their needs (e.g. voyager provides more customization than Blorp, and it’s an all around solid app).

    I think I’m a good dev but a terrible marketing person. I should not be in charge of promoting my app lol. But unfortunately if I don’t do it, nobody will. So apologies if I don’t always have the best judgement for when to promote.

    My comment was written to plain.

    See, I would argue this way: If you make an App with a certain ease of use and all the features YOU like, you got a good start.

    Quality and dedication will get noticed. Your App and some more customization or polishing- so just a small leap - might just skyrocket.

    I will definitely check out your app and progress over time.
