Shutting down Artifact (medium.com)

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.

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