[2023-07-08] General Thunder Updates (self.thunder_app)

Hey everyone - I just wanted to give you all a quick update on what has been happening over the past week. It has been a bit quiet here, but believe me when I say there has been a lot of changes going on behind the scenes to get ready for the upcoming release.

A lot of work has been done over the past week, and an incredible amount of new contributors to the project. I am also in the process of working to get a general release out within the next day or two!

Here are some things to be excited for:

  • Improved performance for long comment threads
  • Improvements to the general UI
  • Customization of swipe gestures
  • More visual options to posts (viewing preview texts, full-width image previews, titles before media)
  • Additional ways to share media and links
  • Initial font size scaling for posts and comments
  • Initial support for blocking communities

And a lot of changes under-the-hood!

I would also like to take this time to welcome a new moderator to the Thunder community! @[email protected]

For those unaware, there is a nightly Thunder community which has more regular (but potentially more unstable) builds for new and upcoming features if you would like to check that out! [email protected]

If you would like to see the current change log for the full list of upcoming features, feel free to check them out here: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md

Sorry again for the long delay between releases - it has been super hectic for me personally and I've had a bit less time this week to work on Thunder as I would've liked ๐Ÿ˜…
