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.

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)
Thanks!
Unfortunately a lot of these are Apple-only and/or just RSS readers. I’ll miss Artifact’s algorithm.
I remember trying it and disliking it. Wasn’t very good, which seems to be echoed by other users. :p
Their recommendation algorithm was terrible. It just sent me every article from BookRiot and any article that mentioned whiskey.
I completely forgot I had installed this app until reading this post. Guess they are making the right choice!
Thought this was about Valve’s Artifact TCG, and was like “wait, didn’t they already shut that down?”
