Is there an app URL scheme that can be used with Arctic? Like if I wanted to open a Lemmy post using the address I could do arctic://openURL/lemmypost.com/postUrlID

I recently started using the newly released Tapestry by The Iconfactory and it allows you to follow rss feeds and all kinds of other things (so Lemmy communities as well). It also lets you define your own custom apps to open for the various feeds and would love to have it open Arctic to the post when I tap the item in Tapestry.

Thanks a bunch for building this fantastic app!

By the way, here is Tapestry’s documentation on how to use the URL schemes, in case you wanna take a look.

    That’s great, glad that worked as intended!

    I pushed an update last night that added a settings page that includes all the URL Schemes for Arctic. I need to clean it up a bit, and I’ll probably add some more schemes for things like search, tab selection, post and comments by ID, etc. but at least for now there is a home for displaying the schemes.

    The lemmy API is quite easy to use, you could even skip login by copying the JWT from another session to authenticate the custom connector (unless you can prompt for username and password in the connector) either way, it should be achievable.

      Thanks again for that! Being able to use these in Shortcuts and other apps really is super useful for me. I wish more developers would publish info like this.

      I did start working on a connector for Lemmy, it’s super rudimentary at the moment and doesn’t login yet, but I got it pulling whatever community I want. It looks like it’ll be pretty simple to prompt for login within Tapestry itself. Hopefully I can find some time this weekend to work on it since more.

      While I’ve got your eyes on these words; how do you prefer feature requests, bug reports, etc… new posts in the Arctic community, TestFlight?
