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
