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

    OH NO! the post paragraphs, links, etc used to read as seperate elements but starting with this pre-release its stopped doing that. Please revert that change as it is much better as seperate elements.

    Edit: also, is hitting the post icon on comments closing the thread for anyone else?

      Hmm, I don’t think there was any change in the logic for that, but I’ll double check it. Can you give me an example with screenshots if possible?

      is hitting the post icon on comments closing the thread for anyone else?

      By this, do you mean when you create a new comment? (e.g., creating a new comment within a post causes it to go back to the previous page?)

        Sure. Here is a screenshot from the pre release. Note how the entire OP is inside the green box whereas in this screenshot and this screenshot only the paragraphs are highlighted.

        Note, these only last for 72 hours before being deleted

        To your second question when you are in a themread and reply to an OP (and maybe a comment too as i havent tested it) the thread is totally closed when the reply button is pressed and the reply is sent. You end up back on the feed

          Alright, I think I understand the issue - still not too sure what caused that to happen, but I’ll see if I can figure that out

          I think I may have just fixed this one just now - doing a bit more testing on it first
