Shutting down Artifact
Shutting down Artifact
It's a shame! It was actually a good news source with a curated feed not run by Google!
• Artifact app to be shut down, citing a small market opportunity and the need to focus on newer projects.
• App's complexity and operations will be slimmed down, with the removal of the ability to add new comments and posts.
• Existing posts will remain visible, and core news reading capabilities will continue until the end of February.

There's a thread from last week where some other alternatives were discussed: among them
- Nuggets: News & Conversation: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/nuggets-news-conversation/id6462796101
- Feeds & Fediverse: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/newsbite/id1478566472
- Feeeed: https://testflight.apple.com/join/ixRrWfQL
- Feedly: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/feedly-smart-news-reader/id396069556
- Perplexity https://apps.apple.com/us/app/perplexity-ask-anything/id1668000334
- NetNewsWire: https://github.com/Ranchero-Software/NetNewsWire
I think the concept of a "mixed reader" that can pull in Big Social / Fediverse / RSS and other curated sources has a lot of potential (Nuggets is the most interesting one to me here)

Nuggets not having an Android app is an interesting choice.

Thanks!
Unfortunately a lot of these are Apple-only and/or just RSS readers. I'll miss Artifact's algorithm.

We people who have android exists

Curious if this is a subtle attempt at flex, on the internet you never know

haha no, seems to just be a coincidence.
