  • Thought I’d throw my opinion into the ring here, since literally every comment is shitting on this.

    Arc is a design project, that also happens to be a web browser. If you’re just calling this “another chromium fork”, I think you’re completely missing the point of who this product is for. First of all, it’s not for you.

    Secondly, the design changes that arc is working on perfecting are pretty groundbreaking. The ability to customize the css and functionality of any web page without code and it saves your profiles for future use with a marketplace is super interesting to me. So much UI on modern websites is entirely unnecessary. As a designer, this is a dream.

    Also, nobody is mentioning that their working on a Windows version THAT NATIVELY RUNS SWIFT ON WINDOWS. This is a big deal for future cross compatibility in general, why are so many people not looking at this?

    Anyway that’s my rant. Trying to voice my opinions even if they’re the odd ones out to prevent a Lemmy based echo chamber. Feel free to disagree.





  • I referenced Google domains because that’s what a lot of people are currently using. I thought about not mentioning it but it doesn’t really matter which registrar you’re using at the end of the day.

    I chose Debian 11 for stability and compatibility with other user friendly hosting options, such as Yuno Host. As far as I’m aware, Yuno does not currently support 12 yet. (I don’t recommend installing Lemmy through YH as it’s on an ancient version and doesn’t support photo uploads nor phone apps)

    You do not need to use a static IP with cloudflare as long as you use ‘localhost’ instead of 192.xxx.x.xx because cloudflared (the cloudflare tunnel software) runs on the server locally, and can detect changes in IP.

    I’ll probably add screenshots if I get a second request for them. Screenshots require performing the actions proper and I didn’t have a test environment ready when I wrote this. Might make a video and add screenshots from that, we’ll see.

    I found your suggestions incredibly helpful! Thank you for taking the time to share them with me!
