Thanks for the cross-post!

Ahh, yes you are correct. This was an oversight on my part. I just added support for downloading videos and gifs for saving, but I forgot to integrate this with the share sheet. I’ll fix that in the next update so you don’t have to save the media before sharing.

That’s great, glad you like it. As for sharing media, you can easily share any image or video directly from the media viewer. Or If you have a sharing workflow that’s not supported, I can see about adding options, or adjusting the current options.

Wow, thank you so much. I’m glad you’re enjoying it.

I keep trying out SwiftUI every year or 2 since it came out, and I’m always disappointed by the limitations. It definitely has some good use cases, but it’s years behind UIKit and it would be too much of a trade-off to switch to SwiftUI fully.

I am planning to use it in a few places in the Arctic such as a Markdown renderer in some areas like the full post view. I’ve put a lot of work into the markdown builder in Arctic and ultimately it’s still bound by the limitations of AttributedStrings. I think it would be a lot easier to split the elements into separate views using SwiftUI. For instance: block quotes, in-line images, in-line link previews, html blocks, animated images/videos

However, I have a few things I want to try to improve my current renderer before switching to SwiftUI for this. It’s based on the same approach as the SwiftUI version, but I’ll be building the view hierarchy using UIKit.

Anywho, thanks for the feedback. Rest assured Arctic will remain a UIKit based app, it just may have some SwiftUI sprinkled in where applicable.

Thank you so much! Glad you’re enjoying it.
