I am so glad to see all the support for this so far, and it has truly been incredible. Thank you all for helping me build this app, and let’s continue to make it even better
Nice! Although when I first launched it after updating, it got stuck on the (frozen) spinning loading wheel for like 20 seconds. Luckily everything is working fine now. I’m on iOS 17 by the way
Don’t forget to unpin the previous release and pin this one !
Loving it so far, I’ll probably be back with more feedback after testing but so far the one change that’s weirding me out a bit is the new collapse only collapsing the parent comment. For some long comments it was very handy to collapse them and have a one line preview. Maybe a compromise with a pixel height would could work ? I just had a comment with a screenshot bigger than my screen and was sad when I clicked on it and still had to scroll the full length.
New settings are great <3 Great work !
Hey! Thanks for the quick feedback! I think for this, there’s different opinions on how it should be handled.
I think the best solution to this would be to just add in a setting which allows you to switch between the two methods of collapsing :D Feel free to open up a issue on GitHub for this!
You added everything I asked for and everything else I secretly wished for! What an amazing update, you are awesome! The new icon and Material You theming are A+, thank you so much for all your work on Thunder.
For those on Android, theres a few things I would like to get your feedback on (I don’t have a physical Android device so I cant see it for myself):
- How does the icon look like to you? Has it improved from last time?
- How is Material You? Does it work as expected?
- Did the name of the app change to Thunder instead of thunder (capital case vs lower case)?
@darklightxi this app is still under development but it’s very promising.
the icon for me is a square with white background, and the loading posts is a hit or miss, but still it’s way better then all other clients I have tried in it’s current state, nice
