I don't mean to sound entitled, and I hope that the author of Arctic is in good health. But, with the TestFlight soon expiring and the AppStore version somewhat outdated, I was hoping if there would be anyone who had any news about updates? Or, should we be looking for alternatives?

I wasn't sure about trying yet another app since Arctic really hits a sweet spot for me but yours is really good. It looks polished and is laid out how I generally prefer. Does it support any push notifications for DMs, replies, etc? Also if you have a TestFlight build I'm happy to run that as well.

    Not yet. I’m trying to have Blorp not depend on any remote web server at all. I was thinking about doing local notifications, but the caveat would be 1) ~15 delay and 2) app has to be running in the background.

    Not depending on a web server means lower cost/maintainer for me, and people can more easily fork my project. Then for the notification content, I’m thinking it’s a summary “15 unread replies and 2 dms”.

    Is that a good enough solution or is that significantly worse than push notifications in your opinion?

    I think that’d be fine generally. I’m on Lemmy enough it’s likely to be in the background most of the time and I don’t really get a ton of notifications anyway. If it makes it more maintainable I think it’s a solid compromise
