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!

For this I was actually planning to add a separate set of widgets for multi-post layout. I had thought about adding an option to the existing ones, but the settings menu is rather limited, and I did not want to offer the option in the small widget.

I should be adding multi-post and full-size image widgets in the next update. I’d never made any widgets before these, and they are actually quite fun to work on.

This was a little later than I had initially planned, but l finally added in list style widgets in yesterdays update.

Oh hell yea! Looks great. Thank you! My only request here is if it's possible to allow option for true black background like it had before? Thank you so much 😎

I recently updated Xcode to target iOS 17 devices, and in doing so widgets now have a different background configuration. I’ll do some testing to see why the background is not the proper color. On iOS 15x the background is still black.

Ok, greatly appreciated if it's possible. Thanks for all the work you've done so far. Legendary
