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

    It’s been a busy week at work for me so I’ve not had much time to work on Arctic.

    bug: Swipe gesture displays “unvote” only for voted posts but not for voted comments

    I fixed this issue this morning. I hadn’t noticed that one before.

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

    This wasn’t exactly a bug, I had just never completed the implementation. I added support for long-press this morning, and will add swipe gestures toning probably. In the next couple of updates I plan to rewrite/redesign the profile page anyway, but I’ll add these features for the time being.

    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.

    This is something I’ve worked on supporting, and I just haven’t quite gotten it working yet. Most of the support for this is already implemented, I just haven’t gotten it fully working yet. Hopefully I’ll have some time this weekend to look into it some more.

    [edit] I’ve gotten link previews working now. You can long press on any link and peek at its content. Safari will preview in reader mode if enabled. I managed to mimic the safari behavior almost exactly. For Lemmy links they will preview natively for profiles, communities, etc. I still need to enable this same behavior for long press on posts etc, but all text links are supported now.

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

    This is definitely doable, I’ve had some issues designing a stats view that is capable or wrapping lines (eg. The votes/comments/timestamp) but I finally took the time to implement this while adding embedded cross-posts. So I should be able to expand on some layout options for a post and comment cells now.

    feature request: ability to favorite communities

    Could you explain this one a bit more? I could definitely keep a list of favorite communities, I’m just not sure where to place that information.

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

    This one I did add backend support for this just before the AppStore release, I just don’t have it enabled yet. I’ll include this in the next update.

      No worries, I thought I write this all down before I forget about them. I appreciate the response. Take your time so you won’t get burned out between work and Arctic!

      For example, on Reddit (Apollo, Narwhal, Reddit website, …), you can favorite subreddits so they appear at the top of your subreddit lists (in the “Favorites” section). With Apollo or Narwhal, you could favorite subreddits (via the context menu or a star on the right side of the subreddit list) to pin them at the top of your alphabetical subreddit list. Additionally, you could favorite subreddits without subscribing to them, pinning them to your list as bookmarks without populating your Subscription feed with posts from that subreddit.
