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).

Edit 5: New pre-release to fix minor issues: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/releases/tag/v0.2.1-alpha.9%2B11

Edit 4: New pre-release to fix issues with missing inbox items, and missing comments on profile/user page: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/releases/tag/v0.2.1-alpha.8%2B11

Edit 3: New pre-release to fix issues with long comment chains above 8 not showing up: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/releases/tag/v0.2.1-alpha.6%2B11

Edit 2: New pre-release to fix issues with replying from inbox: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/releases/tag/v0.2.1-alpha.5%2B11

Edit 1: New pre-release to fix issues with comment editing: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/releases/tag/v0.2.1-alpha.4%2B11

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 ๐Ÿ˜…

I'm getting a language but allowed error when trying to comment on certain comments. I don't know if it's Thunder related or not.

Edit: it's not thunder related

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This could potentially be Thunder related - there's currently no option when creating a comment to select a language, so the default language used may not be allowed in the community

This issue probably won't be fixed in this release since it'll take a bit more work than some of the other issues!
