Hello its me again bringing another pre-release of Thunder for v0.2.1+11! (if all things go accordingly and I don’t mess up TestFlight builds again)

Just an update: I’ll have a bit less time this week to work on Thunder, so updates may take a bit longer than before.

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:

  • 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

Without further ado, these are the changes from the last pre-release:

  • Post duplicates are now filtered from the feed - contribution from @ajsosa
  • Fixed issue with haptic feedback when attempting to edit your own comment
  • Fixed issue where you could not edit your comment in some instances when using your display name
  • Fixed issue where commenting would bring you out of the post
  • Fixed issue where longer comment threads would not show up properly
  • Increased NSFW blur - contribution from @guigs4
  • Slight changes to contrast of text in posts - contribution from @Fmstrat
  • Added tooltip labels on sort types - contribution from @micahmo
  • Added comment sorting - contribution from @guigs4
  • Added option to show title before content - contribution from @Fmstrat
  • Added option to show images edge-to-edge - contribution from @Fmstrat
  • Addition of manual refresh icons to different screens - contribution from @bactaholic
  • Adjusted font scaling to match closer to defaults, and applied font scaling to more places
  • Fixed issue with talkback on posts not applying properly

and probably a whole bunch of other under-the-hood changes I forgot to note down

    I think this pre-release cycle is getting close to becoming a full alpha release soon. There’s still a few bugs present that I would like to squash first, and also a couple of minor things:

    • Start work on blocking communities or users. This will most likely be changes under the hood to allow for that, but having that in place so that we can then test it out in the next pre-release cycle for v0.2.1+12
    • Start work on editing posts, similar to how we can edit comments. Might not get this fully done but would like to get started on it as well

    I’m aiming to have the next alpha be released on Saturday if everything goes according to plan!

      Heck yeah! Blocking functionality will be amazing, that’s really the only big thing I still use Jerboa for at the moment, along with being able to insert screenshots into comments. Huge strides in the last few weeks, what a whirlwind!
