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 But, with the TestFlight soon expiring and the AppStore version somewhat outdated, I was hoping if there would be anyone who had any news about updates?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?

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
