Hi there, me again 😄 coming to you with another release. This release adds in some initial support for creating posts and comments, as well as a whole bunch of other things!

To see the full details of this release, check out the GitHub release announcement: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/releases/tag/v0.2.1%2B5

For those on TestFlight, the update should automatically install on your device. I have not personally tested this, so if someone could let me know, that would be great!

There is also a discussion page here for any general discussions about this release if anyone is interested: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/discussions/43

Thanks again for all the support so far!

I'm writing this from it :)

Seems to be coming along very well. The subscription button is wonky, it doesn't always register the tap, and doesn't show whether or not it was successful in the way the usual "pending" does.

But, links actually work! Even lemmy.world links that sometimes time out will take you to the community if you back out and try again

The full height images option is awesome.

The layout is easy to navigate, andn the dark theme is very well balanced.

It's gonna be sweet watching an app grow :)

Holy shit! I missed the slide functions on comments! Right to up/down vote, left to save/reply. Bloody brilliant!

The subscription button is wonky, it doesn’t always register the tap, and doesn’t show whether or not it was successful in the way the usual “pending” does.

This is usually due to network delays, and should improve as the instances improve! However, I do agree that it is a bit difficult to tell whether you've successfully subscribed/unsubscribed to a community. An idea here is to maybe provide a toast notification whenever the action was done successfully/unsuccessfully

But, links actually work! Even lemmy.world links that sometimes time out will take you to the community if you back out and try again

This is still a bit of a WIP but I did try to support some of the common use-cases that I saw. However, if you notice that something is not being redirected back to the app, feel free to open up an issue on GitHub so that it can be tracked!

Thanks for trying it out!
