I like arctic a lot but I feel like its difficult to tell things apart. the posts in the feed don’t have enough breathing space. So its hard to open a thread by clicking under the article. The title and text are the same color when you’ve read the thread. The comments don’t have different color bars to easily notice whats replying to what like Apollo had. The community and user and the text under it are all the same grey.
Other than that I just newd a skip to next comment button that can be placed in the center and I’ll switch from Avelon.
Will arctic be open source?
This is great feedback. Honestly I’ve been primarily focused on integrating features so far. In the next couple of releases I plan to go through and focus on refining the UI making it more readable, reactive, and customizable.
I hadn’t really considered adding a jump button, but I can absolutely look into that as an option. I might even see if I can fit that in the next release, as it should be quite simple to implement.
As for open sourcing, I have not decided just yet. I would prefer open source, but I need to put some more thought into it before I make a decision.
The jump button is one of the biggest things that make me decide on what app to choose 😅 ideally the button can be fully centered (unlike the screenshot coming) and when held down it takes you up to the previous comment.
This draft ui Avelon has is also extremely convenient
