This is the first pre-release of Thunder for v0.2.1+11! (if all things go accordingly and I don't mess up TestFlight builds again)
Just an update: I'll have a bit less time this week to work on Thunder, so updates may take a bit longer than before.
Be fully prepared to know that these pre-release versions may contain major bugs which could cause Thunder to crash or behave unexpectedly.
Without further ado, these are the changes from last time (based off changelog):
Added
- Added colour to username in comments to distinguish your own comments
- Added option to allow text preview on text posts in normal view - contribution from @coslu
- Added option to share media link or external URL links in the dialog popup on post long press
- Added back featured post icon on posts within a community
- Added ability to customize swipe gestures on comments and posts
- Added ability to develop with hot reload using docker - contribution from @Fmstrat
- Added initial implementation for font size scaling for titles and content - this is very very rough at the moment so feedback is appreciated
Changed
- Adjusted visual feedback in comment swipe gestures
- Added option in settings to enable/disable swipe on bottom navigation bar to open sidebar on feed page - contribution from @bactaholic
- Added option in settings to enable/disable double-tap on bottom navigation bar to open sidebar on feed page (this is disabled temporarily) - contribution from @bactaholic
- Decreased scroll distance needed in order to fetch more comments from a thread
- Improved error messages when more comments fail to fetch within a post
- Decreased number of comments to fetch at a time to improve loading performance
- Posts now load first before comment threads to make viewing posts more responsive
Fixed
- Potentially fixed issues with HTTPS certificate errors when running on Android using Adguard with HTTPS filtering enabled
- Improved performance for comment threads with a lot of comments
- Fixed issue where the last comment on a thread could potentially not show up
- Fixed issue where markdown links were not respecting "open in external browser" option - contribution from @Fmstrat
- Fixed issue with download media not working on Android for some users - contribution from @minicit
- Fixed issue where media download button appearance in light mode - contribution from @coslu
For things to test out, I would suggest:
- general testing of app overall, vote, reply, comment, share, etc.
- testing of custom swipe actions
- scrolling through long comment threads
- changing all of the settings in the setting pages
Great update!
