There will most likely not be any more additions of features for the next release, just bug fixes for large bugs. I would like to give a huge shoutout to everyone that has been working on PRs for this upcoming release, it has been incredible. This includes but is not limited to @bactaholic, @micahmo, @Fmstrat, @CTalvio, @ajsosa, @guigs4, @coslu, @minicit! Please let me know if I have missed anyone :D
Another note: I have created a Matrix space for Thunder for anyone who wants to have general chat there or to get replies even faster. The link to it is here: https://matrix.to/#/#thunderapp:matrix.org
Be fully prepared to know that these pre-release versions may contain major bugs which could cause Thunder to crash or behave unexpectedly.
For things to test out, I would suggest:
- Test out everything you possibly can. Place heavy focus on general and most common actions (upvote, downvote, save, reply, comment, creating posts, etc)
- Look around for any issues with performance overall, or things that seem like they require an immediate fix
Without further ado, these are the changes from the last pre-release:
- Added initial way to block communities from the long press menu on posts. Long press a post in the feed page to show an option to block a community. Currently there is no way to unblock a blocked community, but that will come in a future release
- Added a whole bunch of UI tweaks and changes to post page, and in other places - contribution from @CTalvio
- Addition of community and user banners - contribution from @CTalvio
- Added pull to refresh to a few more pages - contribution from @bactaholic
- Showing collapsed comment count - contribution from @micahmo
- Sharing media directly as images - contribution from @michahmo
...and probably a whole bunch of other under-the-hood changes I forgot to note down π

I did a fresh install. I still can't edit at all. It was working before. Also, I don't know what sorcery is going on but I cleared the cache and app data before installing thunder but after installing the latest nightly my accounts were already logged in. I don't see how this is possible.
Hmm, thatβs weird. I was sure the database was attached to the app itself but maybe Iβll have to take a closer look at that.
The local database which holds your username and token for authentication should be stored together with the app
Can you check if you have a thunder.db file in
data/data//databases? It might be stored there apparentlyIn the Android file system? I assume it's hidden?
Yeah, It would most likely be in the file system somewhere if you can access it - I don't have an Android device so I can't help too much unfortunately.
I'm creating a new build as we speak to see if maybe I can fix the issues you mentioned with comment editing
I looked through the hidden files but no such directory exists that I can see
Here's the new build: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/releases/tag/v0.2.1-alpha.4%2B11
Could you test it out and see if you can edit comments again? Also, try testing out clearing app data/re-install to see if your accounts are still logged in. Thanks!
When I clicked reply to this message in the inbox, the reply button does nothing.
Ignore this: testing reply from inbox
Did it work?
Yup - I fixed this issue - creating another build right now for you to test out as well!
Try this build to test out the reply issue - this also contains the previous stuff to hopefully fix comment editing: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/releases/tag/v0.2.1-alpha.5%2B11
Test 2. Not seeing the replies sent from inbox
Have you seen the 2 replies that I've made to this comment from my inbox? They aren't showing up for me.
None of my my comments are showing up in this thread but I can see them in other apps.
Reply works!

I have noted the issue where comments dont show up - this is because I set a maximum depth to 8 on the comments. I'll apply a quick fix again, and set you know so that you can test it out again
Try this build: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/releases/tag/v0.2.1-alpha.6%2B11
Just a heads up: this is the last quick change I can do for the next little while! I'll check this thread again later and see if there are any other issues that pop up!
Looks good so far. Thanks for the updates
