Oh hey look, its another release around the corner! This release adds in OLED dark mode, initial inbox features, better accessibility, compact mode, and improvements to a whole bunch of things too long to post here.


Obligatory message: If there are any developers out there who want to contribute to this project, that would be greatly appreciated!

Update: A hotfix has been released to fix some initial issues with the release: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/releases/tag/v0.2.1%2B7

To see the full details of this release, check out the GitHub release announcement: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/releases/tag/v0.2.1%2B6

For those on TestFlight, the update should automatically install on your device. For those who obtained the app through IzzyOnDroid, that update should eventually reach your devices!

There is also a discussion page here for any general discussions about this release if anyone is interested: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/discussions/67

It has been incredible to see all the community support and feedback from the last release! Let's continue this and make Thunder an even better experience :D

I just found this app and it's really good. My favourite so far!

I also like how the upvoting/replying works with the swiping. It took me a while to figure out I have to tap the bar the username is in to collapse the comment and its replies. However, one thing that I really like in these kinds of apps is being able to tap the contents of a comment to collapse it's children but not the comment itself (so basically the same kind of functionality except I'd still be able to see/read the parent comment).

I have a question. I found the app through that post that lists the known Lemmy apps, but I see it's currently only available on GitHub. When the app is finished (as I understand it this is a prerelease version, but correct me if I'm wrong!), will it be available on the Play store as well? I'm just asking because I'd love for the app to automatically update (or notify me when an update is available) when a new update is released. Or is that already possible from within the app itself?

Thanks for your hard work on this great app. I'm really enjoying it so far!

Curious, how many posts are loaded in a single API call? Jerboa seems to only request 10 which makes scrolling lag as it constantly has to wait for more to load

Really loving Thunder so far! Truly a very smooth user experience.

I have been getting a few crashes though when scrolling through or navigating around a little too quickly. Is there any easy way to pull debug logs to help diagnose the problem?

Also it looks like when returning from a full-screen image the cached content in the feed tries to refresh, which is probably contributing to the above problem!

Still amazing work and I'm continuing to enjoy using it very much!
