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

Hey, thanks for all the feedback! I’m glad you’re enjoying it 😁

Is it possible to make it so when you swipe to the right on the bottom bar, it can open the side menu

Right now, you can swipe right from the feed view to open up the sidebar! No need to tap on the hamburger icon

I would also love to have an option to click to collapse the text in a main post (the one submitted by the original poster).

I think that’s a good idea! If you don’t mind, feel free to create a issue on GitHub for it to be tracked! It’s a bit difficult for me to keep track of all the suggestions on here 😅

One more minor thing, the icon on Android looks pretty bad, at least on a Pixel.

This is actually hopefully coming in the next release! Someone kindly contributed to fixing icons on Android as I don’t have a physical Android device to test on

Overall this app is phenomenal, I'm super excited to see how it progresses. I'm also happy to buy a premium version/donate

Thankyou!! For now, I wont accept any donations because I want to make sure I can create and deliver something that is fully featured and good to use first! This initially started as a personal project of mine and it continues to be (although I have spent a lot more time over the past week organizing things and fixing things since Thunder blew up so much 😅)

Sorry if I'm missing something obvious, but I can't figure out how to get the side menu to pop out unless I press the hamburger menu. If i slide from the center left edge, it upvotes a post in the feed. If I slide in from the edge of the left of the screen, it uses the back button gesture and exits the app. If I slide from the menu at the bottom, nothing happens at all. This is on a Pixel 7 with gesture navigation - maybe it works with button navigation, but it does not seem to work with gestures enabled.

Update: I have added a gesture for the bottom nav bar to open and close the side menu when you swipe left/right!
