Any plan to support widgets? Something similar to what Apollo had? Thanks

Something that I got used to in the past when I used to read fark.com a ton was the ability to have brief tags associated with users that were non-public, Something on the scale of like 25 to 50 characters. I’m not even thinking, necessarily in line with their comments, but a brief note section that could be shown on their profile page when they’re clicked on with maybe some sort of icon next to their name to show that you’ve saved a comment for them.
Fark.com used to have a feature like this where you could use Freeform text to make a short tag about somebody that way in case you ran across them in the future, it could remind you of things. I often used it to denote people who tended to argue in bad faith, or who worked for a specific company or in a specific field or even was a dev on a specific app so they probably knew what they were talking about in those spaces or maybe they lived near me so we’re familiar with regional things, etc.
And while it would probably be better to have it be a Lemmy feature that synchronized across all apps, it could be useful as an app differentiator as well.
Thanks for your consideration.
First of all, just wanted to say thank you. I’ve come over from a different app that I paid for and then it has been, mostly, abandoned. I appreciate the feature set and thought put into Arctic and have donated a bit through the BuyMeACoffee link.
One suggestion/wish: Can you please change the “< Subscriptions” button to something like a hamburger menu icon instead? Here’s my thought process: The current button points backwards which, generally, acts as a navigation to the previous screen one was on. However, in this case, starting on the chosen default tab, there’s nothing really to go back to, yet. Turning this into a menu button gives a better indication of its function and looks more aesthetically pleasing (IMO)
Either way, thanks for the great app and I look forward to your work in the future
I don’t know when they were added, but I just noticed that spoiler tags are supported.

Thanks for the recent 0.3 update!
This app is awesome and I want to support it, but I can’t use buymeacoffee because I don’t have a credit card.
Also curious when there will be an official AppStore release, since this app is pretty solid.
The only thing missing for me personally that I can think of are really minor customization options (like hiding voting arrows in feed/post view since I use gestures or the ability to collapse posts. Like the stuff we got used to by using Apollo.), but else Arctic rocks and I really love the smoothness and polished design.
Solved I have 2 accounts on different instances with the name JaymesRS. I created my original on Midwest.social because it was the one I liked best at the time, I created a second at literature.cafe later because I identified more with that community, but I wanted there to be some continuity between them. I kept the other around for backup though.
If I only sign in to one of those accounts I have no problem with comments showing up on federated communities, however, if I sign in to both and switch accounts then switch back I no longer see federated comments. I will see the number of comments listed, but when I open the thread it says no comments found. I can still see comments on my local community though.
I can fix this by uninstalling and reinstalling the app and re signing in to only one of the accounts. It seems like removing the accounts itself won’t resolve the bug. I have a third account with a completely different name on a 3rd instance too and that doesn’t seem to trigger the bug.
If I can offer any other answers or help, let me know.
