Thunder Nightly Introduction (self.thunder_nightly)

Hey there, this community is to help test pre-release versions of Thunder!

I will be releasing pre-release versions here so that anyone that is interested can help out with general testing to find any major bugs or issues that would otherwise affect the larger amount of users who are currently in the alpha-releases.

As such, be fully prepared to know that these pre-release versions may contain major bugs which could cause Thunder to crash or behave unexpectedly. When testing a new pre-release version posted here, please try to limit the posts to bugs, and not feature requests.

As these are pre-release versions, I will most likely not use GitHub as a way to send out these pre-releases. I am trying to find an alternative site to upload the corresponding APK/IPA files, so feel free to suggest any sites that may fit that purpose!

Thanks again for all the support!

I would also like to ask if anyone is interested in becoming a moderator for this community or the main Thunder community. It has been growing at a incredible pace, and it is becoming more and more difficult for me to look through posts and answer all the questions that people may have.

Thanks! Would you happen to have any suggestions on where to host the pre-release files?

[–] V4uban 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe an alternative GitHub repo? I don't know much on that topic, sorry

[–] machinaeZER0 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I think I'd consider a parallel GitHub repo that spits out nightly builds

[–] darklightxi 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hmm, creating a whole separate one makes it more work to keep the two repositories in-sync with each other

I can maybe try to release pre-releases alongside the main GitHub releases, but I’m not too confident whether or not creating a new release there will trigger the in-app notification to pop up

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

You can update the logic to only trigger on releases tagged with a certain tag? Or ignore releases tagged with a nightly tag or something like that.

[–] darklightxi 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I'll probably do a test pre-release on GitHub later today to see how it affects users! Thanks for the suggestion
