Oh hey look, its another release around the corner! This release adds in OLED dark mode, initial inbox features, better accessibility, compact mode, and improvements to a whole bunch of things too long to post here.

Obligatory message: If there are any developers out there who want to contribute to this project, that would be greatly appreciated!

Update: A hotfix has been released to fix some initial issues with the release: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/releases/tag/v0.2.1%2B7

To see the full details of this release, check out the GitHub release announcement: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/releases/tag/v0.2.1%2B6

For those on TestFlight, the update should automatically install on your device. For those who obtained the app through IzzyOnDroid, that update should eventually reach your devices!

There is also a discussion page here for any general discussions about this release if anyone is interested: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/discussions/67

It has been incredible to see all the community support and feedback from the last release! Let's continue this and make Thunder an even better experience :D

I just found this app and it's really good. My favourite so far!

I also like how the upvoting/replying works with the swiping. It took me a while to figure out I have to tap the bar the username is in to collapse the comment and its replies. However, one thing that I really like in these kinds of apps is being able to tap the contents of a comment to collapse it's children but not the comment itself (so basically the same kind of functionality except I'd still be able to see/read the parent comment).

I have a question. I found the app through that post that lists the known Lemmy apps, but I see it's currently only available on GitHub. When the app is finished (as I understand it this is a prerelease version, but correct me if I'm wrong!), will it be available on the Play store as well? I'm just asking because I'd love for the app to automatically update (or notify me when an update is available) when a new update is released. Or is that already possible from within the app itself?

Thanks for your hard work on this great app. I'm really enjoying it so far!

Hey, I'm glad you found your way here and I'm glad you're enjoying it so far!

The point about tapping the comment itself to hide the replies but not the comment itself is actually completed and will be coming in the next release!

As for releasing on the Play store, there are currently no plans to do that in near future since there's still a lot of work to be done 😅 However, there are actually in-app notifications when I push a new release on GitHub! You can also get it through IzzyOnDroid and it should update automatically (if I'm not mistaken)

Hopefully, that answers your questions! Have fun exploring the app, and feedback is always welcomed here :D

Thanks so much for your reply! It's great to hear that that feature is coming in the next release.

Understandable that there's still lots of work to be done. It's good to hear that there's an in-app notification when a new update is released. I was worried I might miss our on new updates if I forget to check the GitHub page. I also subscribed to this community to stay up to date. :)
