Since this release has a lot of under-the-hood changes, its expected that bugs may show up that were previously not there. Please open up a GitHub issue if you find any of those!

For those on Android, theres a few things I would like to get your feedback on (I don't have a physical Android device so I cant see it for myself):

How does the icon look like to you? Has it improved from last time?
How is Material You? Does it work as expected?
Did the name of the app change to Thunder instead of thunder (capital case vs lower case)?

[–] machinaeZER0 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Icon looks great, Thunder is capitalized! Material You is working beautifully, though I might consider having it theme the floating New Post button as well?

AMAZING release, dude!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The floating button does get themed for me, when material you is enabled.

[–] ashiwz 6 points 1 year ago

Icon's great now! Fills the full app circle
Material You works as expected! Colors are themed correctly
It's now Thunder instead of thunder

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

The icon changed to a full black circle with the logo in the middle as it should be and the "T" is now capitalized. I am running Android 11 so no Material You testing for me. That was adden in Android 12 and up

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

The logo looks great, a bit more elegant! Thunder is capitalized and the Material You theme seems to work great, though I don't know enough about how it's supposed to look to say for sure. It does seem to use the right colours.

[–] kratoz29 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The icon is lit in both UI 🔥

I think Material You works nice as well.

The only thing that confuse me is the order of the swipe actions, I think here are swapped compared with every other app (some have the ability to customize this as well though).

[–] darklightxi 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The long term plan is to allow customizability of the swipe gestures! Not sure when I'll be able to get around to that though

[–] kratoz29 1 points 1 year ago

I see, thanks for the input!

Take a look yourself at Material You 😀 Also to mention also: it loads only a few comments from this post but there are 20+

Thank you for this great app.

[–] darklightxi 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This could be most likely that there were new comments added since the last time the post was updated. If you refresh the feed, you should be able to see the updated number of comments!

[–] AnonLordo 1 points 1 year ago

No issue with Thunder. My instance did not show all comments. Just found out that this was the reason. Sorry for that.

[–] yads 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The only issue I'm seeing with the material you design and actually this is kind of a problem with the dark theme is the text of links in posts is not readable. E.g https://ibb.co/qpjtNm4

[–] darklightxi 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for pointing that out! I'll see if I can fix that 😅

[–] yoichi 1 points 1 year ago

Icon looks great
Can't test Material You
T is upper-case now

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Agree with shortwavesurfer re:logo and the Material You theme looks like how I would expect, much prefer it to the default dark theme.

You are killing it mate, well done.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Can't emphasize enough how much of an improvement this is. Amazing upgrade. Thank you !
