Scrolling does not mark posts as read for me anymore. Anyone else?

TestFlight 0.4.0.4

Thanks for the other changes in recent update, I am really digging that crosspost indicator to quickly jump to other comment threads about the same post.

The new default icon is clean too!

Arctic is awesome as always, I just noticed following:

• bug: Swipe gesture displays "unvote" only for voted posts but not for voted comments:

• bug(?): swipe gestures and long presses don’t work on posts/comments on profile pages

• feature request: peek to preview features possible? Like in Safari or Apollo you were able to long press a post or a link to preview without opening it. For links they also previewed with reader mode (if the setting is enabled) which was kinda neat.

• feature request: image/thumbnail size setting for compact posts (eg. small to large)

• feature request: ability to favorite communities

• feature request: mark notifications as read when tapping/opening them

Thanks again for all your work!

Edit: removed image titles because they don’t work well, see my comment

Thanks for the recent 0.3 update!

This app is awesome and I want to support it, but I can’t use buymeacoffee because I don’t have a credit card.

Also curious when there will be an official AppStore release, since this app is pretty solid.

The only thing missing for me personally that I can think of are really minor customization options (like hiding voting arrows in feed/post view since I use gestures or the ability to collapse posts. Like the stuff we got used to by using Apollo.), but else Arctic rocks and I really love the smoothness and polished design.

Arctic v0.2.7 is out

Arctic v0.2.7 is out on TestFlight. This update is focused on backend optimization and push notification features.

Community Notifications

You can now setup notifications for individual communities. Notifications can by filtered by post keywords, post author, and post score. In the coming releases I will add support for more filtering options. To list a few, filter by phrase rather than keyword, upvote/downvote rather than just score, multiple authors, comment count, pinned(stickied) posts, etc. I’ll also be adding support for temporary notifications,community notifications that will automatically expire after a set amount of time.

Account Notification Options

Account notifications can now be toggled by type, you can toggle notifications for: badges, replies, mentions, and messages. This also adds support for mods/admins. You can enable mod notifications for new post/comment reports, and admin notifications for new user registration applications. note that user application cannot currently be viewed within Arctic.

Community Jump

You can now tap the title in any posts feed and quickly jump to a different community using the community selector.

Backend Improvements

Arctics Lemmy API wrapper has now been extracted into a swift package (Swimmy) for improved maintainability and so it can be utilized as a shared code base for Arctics Push Notification server. In doing so, I also added support for Combine allowing for improved error handling with the API.

Arctics Server

I’ve migrated Arctics notification server to a new hosting provider. With the new provider, I may be able to offer all notification options as a free service provided I can sustain off of small donations. This would be ideal, as I never wanted to paywall any features in Arctic. I’ve also setup getarctic.app a new home for Arctic. The website is quite barebones at the moment, but I will be updating it as my time allows.

As always, thank you to everyone for helping test Arctic, and providing feedback. I know new features have slowed in the last few releases. Going forward I’ll be working on polishing the current feature set in hopes of an AppStore release in the next couple of weeks.
