Thunder App Nightly

This is the third pre-release for Thunder v0.4.0! This pre-release version introduces experimental support for videos, and many other changes and bug fixes. This will be the last pre-release containing new features as the upcoming pre-releases will mainly focus on fixing any existing issues that come up to prepare for a general release.

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

Some notable changes to test out:

• There is now experimental support for videos - Thunder should now be able to play most videos (including YouTube videos) within the app. Thanks to ggichure for implementing this! As videos are still experimental, please submit any issues you find on GitHub.

• You can now switch between users when creating a comment. This feature should work as long as the comment is federated to the other account's instance. Big thanks to micahmo for implementing this feature!

• There have been some tweaks to the UI for the account page and user management pages. Thanks to CTalvio for working on this.
