Zoom zoom zoom, new update incoming and Happy (late) Canada Day for my fellow Canadians out there (if there are any out there π) π
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
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!
This release has a lot of under-the-hood changes, so its expected that bugs may show up that were previously not there. Please open up a GitHub issue if you find any of those!
Obligatory message: If there are any developers out there who want to contribute to this project, that would be greatly appreciated!
To see the full details of this release, check out the GitHub release announcement: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/releases/tag/v0.2.1%2B10
For those on TestFlight, the update should automatically install on your device. For those who obtained the app through IzzyOnDroid, that update should eventually reach your devices!
There is also a discussion page here for any general discussions about this release if anyone is interested: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/discussions/167
Thanks for reading this far, here's a cookie πͺ

Ahh I understand, thanks for explaining it to me! I think it really depends right now on the link. Some links will show you the thumbnail while others donβt - this is definitely something that could very well be improved
The compact view only shows the link icon for now because I want to find a better way to differentiate between an image vs a link - if the link icon were to change to the thumbnail as it is, it would cause some confusion if someone was expecting to tap on the thumbnail to see an image
Thanks so much for all your work. I understand wanting to differentiate between links and images. If I may offer a counterpoint, I believe Apollo didn't differentiate between them, and I never conflated the two. It was usually obvious from the post title whether it was an image or a link. That's just me and my personal preference though. I know Memmy differentiates between them by having a translucent link icon over the thumbnail. Although not my personal preference, it is one option.
