Arctic v0.2.2 and v0.2.3 has been released on TestFlight. I’m slacking a little and did not post about the v0.2.2 release. These are both smaller releases without many major changes. I’ve been trying to keep the updates a little smaller than usual, so I can release them faster.

v0.2.2

To summarize v0.2.2, this was mostly geared towards moderation tools. I redesigned the ModLog and added some convenience actions for moderators such as an Undo feature for mod actions. I fixed several crashes, and issues to do with the mod tools released in v0.2.1. For users I added support for sharing videos from the media viewer without needing to save them first. Fixed a crash when changing accounts that was introduced in the previous version. You can read more about this release in the changelog below.

v0.2.3

As for v0.2.3, this was a much smaller release that was mainly intended to fix a parsing issue with Lemmy Explorer. However I also added a couple cool new features. Finally some app theming support, you can now customize Arctics tint color, and comment colors. I also added a comment feed view for viewing your instance comments out of context similar to the web UI. You can also access this for individual communities, however several instances hav this temporary disabled due to performance issues. For mods, I added support for removing entire comment threads, I’ve seen this requested by several mods across lemmy. I also added the ability for admins to purge content from the database.

Upcoming changes

  • Refined theming support, a few areas were overlooked in the initial release.
  • A new comment jump button, for quickly navigating between top level comments
  • All new swipe action design that triggers actions based on distance rather than the current drawer style actions, of course if you prefer the current style, you can use that instead.
  • Comment and Post drafts so you can pick up where you left off if you dismiss the compose view.

    Love the new swipe gestures and sharing with local instance url instead of remote URL!

    And the colour options, finally some indigo (majestic purple) colour instead of blue!

      I am also enjoying the new swipe gestures. I’d been putting off adding them in for a while because I thought it would be a real hassle implementing them in UIKit rather than SwiftUI, however I came up with a rather simple solution that only took an hour or so to implement, I was pleasantly surprised.

      I’ll be adding more in depth theming options soon, but tint colors were simple enough to add in for the time being.

      Glad your enjoying the updates!

        Looking forward to any updates!

        Btw the „mark all messages as read“ button does not work for me
