CAN - Creative Applications Network (since 2008) Activity is a whole new way to interact with content, ideas, and each other on CAN. Built on the best ideas of the early web, it focuses on what matters most — our interaction with each other. A live record of what's flowing across our network, out into the world, and back into our community. —— - Community Activity Feed See what's happening across the network — new articles, interactive content, events, member activity, comments, channels and more. - Content Filters Customise your feed to focus on what matters. Toggle articles, events, member activity, discussions, and archive updates. - Member Profiles Discover community members and their work. Bios, locations, websites, and social links. - Engage & Interact Post, comment, like, and save articles, events, people, and tools to your personal collection. - Themes Seven built-in themes, many others available in the #themes channel, or build your own — synced across the site, app, and widgets. - Watch App Activity is on Apple Watch. Live feed, unread indicators, mentions, a 7-day activity graph complication, and background refresh — right from your wrist. - Thoughtful Details Greyscale image mode with film grain, haptic feedback, and smooth animations throughout. - Join from the App Subscribe to Standard, Supporter, or Studio membership directly — no website needed. Manage your subscription through the App Store. —— Activity is built with love and care, for our community.

We tracked it down: the app was doing a large amount of unnecessary work on every entry as it loaded, and it had been quietly getting worse. The feed now loads dramatically faster, and the app opens way quicker. • Skills — members can now show what they work with. Skills appear as tags on your profile, on other members' profiles, and in the feed whenever someone updates theirs. You can edit your own from your profile: tap the pencil, remove a tag with the ×, or type to add new ones. Also included: - Live embeds that are no longer available now step aside neatly, leaving just the link - Comment and post bubbles now use correct theme colour - Various small visual polish and bug fixes New in V2: • Search entries and members right from the sidebar • Join CAN directly from the app: Manage account, renew, request data ++ • Guest Mode: Browse the first page of the feed w/o account • Faster everywhere: A new session token system • Smarter login: Log in with your regular website password • Apple Watch: Mention indicators now included • Liquid Glass on the floating bar and its menus (optional) • Polish throughout: quick switch filters, apply themes from feed ++ ### 2.1.0 — 2026-07-22 What's New in 2.1.0 • Search is here — find Activity entries and members right from the sidebar or the floating bar. Build a search with multiple terms, see live results as you type, and jump straight into a thread or profile. Recent searches are saved for quick access. • Smarter scrolling — after loading a few pages automatically, the feed now pauses and asks if you'd like to keep going, narrow things down with filters, or search instead — so you're never stuck in an endless (doom) scroll. • Faster threads — opening a thread, especially older ones, was slower than it needed to be. Threads now stay ready-to-serve and refresh only when they actually change, so they open noticeably quicker and jumping into a past conversation feels instant — especially when you find it through search. • Liquid Glass (iOS 26) — a new appearance option in Settings lets you enable Apple's Liquid Glass look on the floating bar and its menus. • Stats improvements — 7-day charts now always show the full week in the right order, and totals are calculated more accurately. Also included: - Article previews now gracefully fall back if a linked source is temporarily unreachable - Fixed the Apply Theme button missing from posts in thread view - Channels list rows now align cleanly - Widget and Watch app update instantly when you mark entries as read - Various small visual polish and bug fixes What was added in V2: • Join CAN directly from the app: Manage account, renew, request data ++ • Guest Mode: Browse the first page of the feed w/o account • Faster everywhere: A new session token system • Smarter login: Log in with your regular website password • Apple Watch: Mention indicators now included • Polish throughout: quick switch filters, apply themes from feed ++ ### 2.0.3 — 2026-06-09 Minor bug fixes and visual improvements.
