v0.2.1-alpha.3+11
This is the third, and final pre-release of Thunder for v0.2.1+11! (if all things go accordingly and I don't mess up TestFlight builds again).
There will most likely not be any more additions of features for the next release, just bug fixes for large bugs. I would like to give a huge shoutout to everyone that has been working on PRs for this upcoming release, it has been incredible. This includes but is not limited to @bactaholic, @micahmo, @Fmstrat, @CTalvio, @ajsosa, @guigs4, @coslu, @minicit! Please let me know if I have missed anyone :D
Another note: I have created a Matrix space for Thunder for anyone who wants to have general chat there or to get replies even faster. The link to it is here: https://matrix.to/#/#thunderapp:matrix.org
Be fully prepared to know that these pre-release versions may contain major bugs which could cause Thunder to crash or behave unexpectedly.
For things to test out, I would suggest:
- Test out everything you possibly can. Place heavy focus on general and most common actions (upvote, downvote, save, reply, comment, creating posts, etc)
- Look around for any issues with performance overall, or things that seem like they require an immediate fix
Without further ado, these are the changes from the last pre-release:
- Added initial way to block communities from the long press menu on posts. Long press a post in the feed page to show an option to block a community. Currently there is no way to unblock a blocked community, but that will come in a future release
- Added a whole bunch of UI tweaks and changes to post page, and in other places - contribution from @CTalvio
- Addition of community and user banners - contribution from @CTalvio
- Added pull to refresh to a few more pages - contribution from @bactaholic
- Showing collapsed comment count - contribution from @micahmo
- Sharing media directly as images - contribution from @michahmo
...and probably a whole bunch of other under-the-hood changes I forgot to note down 😅

For things to test out, I would suggest:
- general testing of app overall, vote, reply, comment, share, etc.
- testing and changing custom swipe actions
- scrolling through long comment threads to check for any stuttering or performance issues
- changing all of the settings in the setting pages and see if they are all being applied correctly

v0.2.1+10
Alpha Release [v0.2.1+10]
Zoom zoom zoom, new update incoming and Happy Canada Day for my fellow Canadians out there (if there are any out there 👀) 🎉
I know I skipped v0.2.1+9 - this was because a build failed for TestFlight, which upped the version from v0.2.1+9 -> v0.2.1+10
Important: it is highly recommended to reinstall the app for the best (and least buggy) experience possible
This update was mainly focused on improving overall performance for Thunder - you should hopefully see less lag as you scroll down your favourite feed or community! In addition to that, a few new major additions have been added, including the ability to view a user's profile, a revamped account page (for posts, comments, and saved posts), editing of comments, ability to download images and of course, more quality of life improvements to make your experience even better!
As always, this is an alpha release, so do expect bugs to pop up here and there. Without further ado, here are the changes:
Major Additions
- Hopefully major improvements to performance within the app! You should feel that scrolling through the feed is smoother, and less laggy (hopefully) There is still an issue with some stuttering within long comment threads which will be looked at further
- Added ability to edit your own comments - editing will replace the reply swipe gesture if you are swiping on your own comment
- Added ability to download images - contribution from @MrAntonS
- Added back ability to collapse a comment, toggle-able in the settings
- Added pull to refresh on posts
- An additional button now shows up for each post in comfortable view to open the more actions modal
- Long pressing the post will bring up a modal to perform more actions such as visit community, user profile, sharing
- Added initial support for viewing user profiles - including their posts and comments
- Added top sort options - contribution from @JulianPaulus
- Upvoting and downvoting posts/comments now provides you with immediate feedback (no more waiting around)
QoL Improvements
- Adjusted thickness of divider between posts to help differentiate posts
- Increased threshold for triggering a upvote/downvote on comments to hopefully have less accidental actions
Fixes and Misc
- Fixed issue where you could not exit app when swiping back or using the back button
- Fixed issue where an error would be thrown if trying to access http pages - contribution from @vbh
- Fixed issue with missing haptic feedback on comment actions and other places
- Fixed issue where reply button would cover actions and comments for short posts
- Removed mark as read for mentions and replies that have already been read
- Dockerfile for building Android builds - contribution from @Fmstrat
- Fixing settings not reachable - contribution from @ggichure
And many more changes under the hood!
The main focuses for the next release are (but subject to change):
- Adding in a way to block users or communities
- Editing of posts
- Adding more options when creating posts
- Alternate ways of voting in comments outside of swipe gestures
If you find any issues or would like to suggest features, please open up a new issue! As always, contributions are always welcomed here.
