v0.2.1-alpha.3+12

This is the third pre-release of Thunder for v0.2.1+12! This nightly adds a ton of improvements to UI and UX, and includes some major features such as the ability to add images to posts, an overhaul of settings page, and more!

Be fully prepared to know that these pre-release versions may contain major bugs which could cause Thunder to crash or behave unexpectedly.

These are some of the changes that have occurred since the last pre-release. For things to test, I would suggest all the usual actions, and all the new features/changes which have been introduced in this nightly:
