For those on Android, theres a few things I would like to get your feedback on (I don't have a physical Android device so I cant see it for myself):
Icon looks great, Thunder is capitalized! Material You is working beautifully, though I might consider having it theme the floating New Post button as well?
AMAZING release, dude!
The floating button does get themed for me, when material you is enabled.
The icon changed to a full black circle with the logo in the middle as it should be and the "T" is now capitalized. I am running Android 11 so no Material You testing for me. That was adden in Android 12 and up
The icon is lit in both UI π₯
I think Material You works nice as well.
The only thing that confuse me is the order of the swipe actions, I think here are swapped compared with every other app (some have the ability to customize this as well though).
The long term plan is to allow customizability of the swipe gestures! Not sure when I'll be able to get around to that though
The logo looks great, a bit more elegant! Thunder is capitalized and the Material You theme seems to work great, though I don't know enough about how it's supposed to look to say for sure. It does seem to use the right colours.
Take a look yourself at Material You π Also to mention also: it loads only a few comments from this post but there are 20+
Thank you for this great app.
The only issue I'm seeing with the material you design and actually this is kind of a problem with the dark theme is the text of links in posts is not readable. E.g https://ibb.co/qpjtNm4
You added everything I asked for and everything else I secretly wished for! What an amazing update, you are awesome! The new icon and Material You theming are A+, thank you so much for all your work on Thunder.
Thanks! I appreciate the words!
Don't forget to unpin the previous release and pin this one !
Loving it so far, I'll probably be back with more feedback after testing but so far the one change that's weirding me out a bit is the new collapse only collapsing the parent comment. For some long comments it was very handy to collapse them and have a one line preview. Maybe a compromise with a pixel height would could work ? I just had a comment with a screenshot bigger than my screen and was sad when I clicked on it and still had to scroll the full length.
New settings are great <3 Great work !
Hey! Thanks for the quick feedback! I think for this, there's different opinions on how it should be handled.
I think the best solution to this would be to just add in a setting which allows you to switch between the two methods of collapsing :D Feel free to open up a issue on GitHub for this!
You got it boss ;)
Love the update! Default sorting options and default starting page is just what I was waiting for. I have found two regressions so far on android:
It is one of the best designed lemmy app so far but my biggest issue with the app is that after scrolling a certain amount app becomes so laggy to the point it becomes unusable. Hope the issue is fixed soon.
I'm an Android user so let me know if more info is required.
Yoooo this is the best Lemmy Android app I've tried by far! Will this be on the Play Store eventually?
I just downloaded the app. I love the feel, look & everything so far!
I'm such a baby at this, so please excuse my ignorance. But I can't seem to like comments under posts. Am I just missing something?
Also I don't know where to find my comments that I've made. Again, am I just so dumb I can't find it? How do I see My posts & comments & how do I like other ppl's comments? Please & thank you.
Sorry, I didn't know where else to ask this. π₯Ί I love this app so much rn.
Hey! Thanks for trying Thunder out :D I would like to preface this by mentioning that this is still in (what I would consider) very very early alpha. Because of this, there's still a lot of features that I'm working hard to bring to everyone in the community!
But I canβt seem to like comments under posts.
You can perform actions on comments by swiping on them! Currently, that's the only way to upvote/downvote, save, and reply to comments
Also I donβt know where to find my comments that Iβve made.
This is currently in the works! In the next release, I'm hoping to have a more detailed profile view where you can see your posts, comments, and hopefully saved items
I hope this answers your questions!
Really liking this app, a big improvement in navigation over the website. Thanks for your efforts here.
Can we get fully collapsed comment threads back as an option? Also when a comment is collapsed, there should be some indication that there are child comments hidden
Yup, that was an issue that was brought up, so Iβll add a settings option to switch between the two modes!
Also when a comment is collapsed, there should be some indication that there are child comments hidden
I agree, I just need to find a good way to visually represent that!
Cool, thanks!
Loving the swipe to upvote function. Reminds me of Relay βΊοΈ
The app feels amazing! One thing that I personally want is the possibility to share images, gif or videos as they are, not only as a link to the post..
Other than that, I'm switching from connect!
@darklightxi this app is still under development but it's very promising.
the icon for me is a square with white background, and the loading posts is a hit or miss, but still it's way better then all other clients I have tried in it's current state, nice
Changelog says that now read posts dim the posts if you open them, but that is not working for me.
Whoops, I just tested it out again, and I forgot to dim the posts on the default view. If you switch to compact view, you should see them dimmed!
I'll fix that for the next release
I just installed. Very sleek looking. good job.
Well, I tried th respond to your request guy android specific feedback. But, ahhhh, it won't open up the action bar to reply to comments, votes, etc at all lol.
It is, however, showing as Thunder, the icon looks great, and so far everything else is smooth. Haven't played around much though
Well, the reply function is on the right swipe menu, but there's no edit option :)
Also thank you for improving the handling of the image view! Zoming and panning on a zoomed image was very difficult before, I didn't even have time to make an issue before you fixed it! :)
Hey! Thanks for the feedback! I feel like thereβs still a bit more improvements that can be made to it to make it a bit smoother and easier to use but I do think its better than before π
Nice! Although when I first launched it after updating, it got stuck on the (frozen) spinning loading wheel for like 20 seconds. Luckily everything is working fine now. Iβm on iOS 17 by the way
Hey! yeah, theres been a lot of changes under the hood so that may have contributed the to loading that you saw.
The best thing (if I could do it) would be to ask everyone to re-install the app if possible since there may be inconsistencies due to all those changes
Looking as gorgeous as ever. Keep up the great work!
Nice update! Any word on support for refresh rates above 60? Whenever I scroll on my 120hz screen phone the app feels like it's lagging.
Hey! I am aware of the performance issues and am working to improve them slowly over time
Thanks! Just to clarify, it's locked to 60Hz on Android. So it's not that the performance is dipping, it just doesn't seem to support high refresh screens.
Can't exit app (clean install). Using Samsung A71 5g One UI 5.1
This is a known issue, and should be fixed in the next release!
Everything looks good but I am experiencing some skipping or lag when scrolling down.
Yup, Iβm aware of some performance issues and Iβll hopefully have some improvements to those soon
Love the new option to open links in browser!!
Super minor thing, but it seems like links within posts (like the GitHub ones in this post) don't respect that setting
