[Pre-release] v0.5.0-5 (github.com)
 

This is the second release candidate for Thunder v0.5.0! As mentioned in the previous release candidate, there aren't too many notable changes in this version as I'm preparing for a general release version. If no major issues are found, this will be the version released on the App Store and Google Play.

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

Fixes

  • Fixed share text post by micahmo
  • Fixed loading indicator when submitting posts, moved comment submit to markdown toolbar by micahmo
  • Fixed table column markdown alignment by hjiangsu
private/direct messages in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Just wanted to chime in here - I also think having a chat-style widget would also be best for private messages but would be difficult to implement without some workarounds (mainly due to the limitations of the API as you mentioned)!

But then I discovered that there’s no API call to retrieve your sent messages

From what I can see in the API, there is a creatorId field that can be specified to grab chats for a given user. This could potentially work by passing in your own account id to retrieve your sent messages (although, this would likely return back your sent messages aggregated across all users so it wouldn't be ideal)

It would be a bit of a hack but we could call that API endpoint, and cache the results locally to be used in chats. This adds a layer of complexity since we would need to consider how to keep messages synced up (e.g., if a user edits a message elsewhere, it should be reflected here). There also doesn't seem to be a way to get a specific private message by id, so that also complicates the issue further 😅

Hey there! As others have mentioned, there is currently no way to reply to private messages in Thunder. However, I have heard this feature request a few times, so I'll try to increase its priority.

My priorities at this time is to add in additional comment moderator actions, so this will likely have to come after that is implemented. Hope that helps clear things up!

[Pre-release] v0.5.0-3 (github.com)
 

This is the third pre-release for Thunder v0.5.0! This version contains a brand new inbox page, support for hiding posts (v0.19.4), and the usual bug fixes. There have also been a lot of under-the-hood changes so as always, please mention any issues or bugs that come up when running this version.

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

Does the app only stutter for me? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Hey there, are you by any chance subscribed to a lot of communities? If so, that may be the reason for the stuttering when opening the drawer.

This is a known issue and I have fix for that in this PR which should greatly improve that: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/pull/1452

Occasionally, it also stutters when I scroll through my feed.

Do you mind sharing if you have full height images enabled? Generally, having that on is a bit more intensive because Thunder needs to calculate the width/height for each image (as Lemmy does not provide that info directly) - this should improve once Lemmy sends back the image dimensions in their API!

If you don’t have that option enabled, feel free to submit a new issue on GitHub and I can take a closer look at it. Thanks!

Alpha Release [v0.4.0]: Video support, UI/UX improvements, and more! in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Thanks for confirming this! Does this happen every single time? Or are there specific scenarios that trigger this?

For example, if you reply to a short post/comment, does the markdown toolbar disappear? It would be really useful if you could make a new issue on GitHub for this (with possible reproducible steps or videos) to help us figure this out! Additionally, which keyboard do you use? Is it the stock keyboard or a different one?

I still haven’t been able to reproduce this on my end so it’s tough to figure out what the root cause is unfortunately 😅

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (3 children)

Thanks for the report! I'm assuming it's not possible to scroll up any further?

Edit: This does seem to be a bug since the markdown toolbar should show up right above the keyboard. However, I'm not able to reproduce it on my end

Alpha Release [v0.4.0]: Video support, UI/UX improvements, and more! (github.com)
 

Hey everyone, Thunder v0.4.0 is finally here! This release cycle took a bit longer than usual, but as a result, introduces a lot of new features, changes, and fixes which should make for a even better Thunder experience. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to discuss it in the Thunder community or on GitHub.

If you're enjoying Thunder and would like to show some support, star this project on GitHub! This helps gain visibility for the project and allows more contributors to help with the continued development of Thunder. If you'd like to show some appreciation, here is a post with details on how to donate to the active contributors of Thunder.

A quick reminder: if you are using the Google Play version or App Store version, please note that it may take a bit of time before you receive the update. Now onto the update notes. This update brings a few major features:

If you have any suggestions or feedback regarding these changes, feel free to make a new issue on GitHub!
  • There is now initial support for video playback on Thunder! The built-in video player should work with most video URLs (that end in a proper video extension) and should work with YouTube URLs. Additionally, you can customize some video settings such as playback speed, auto-mute, auto-play and more in the Settings page. The video player is still experimental, so there may still be some issues present.
  • Additional customization options including the ability to customize the colours of actions (upvotes, downvotes, saving, etc.), hiding thumbnails from the feed, showing user/community avatars, and much more.

ℹ General

[Screenshot] Color contrast for OP and mod names in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Let OP/mod colors take precedence and override the default color with them

I think this is a good idea! This should allow for colorized user/instance names while keeping special user badges distinguishable.

Hey everyone, its been a while but it's finally time for another Thunder release. As always, there have been many improvements, additions, changes and fixes in this release which should make for a even better Thunder experience. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to discuss it in the Thunder community or on GitHub.

A quick reminder: if you are using the Google Play version or App Store version, please note that it may take a bit of time before you receive the update. Now onto the update notes. This update brings a few major features:

🎉 New Features

  • Instance and community modlogs are now available in Thunder. To access the instance modlog, tap on the triple dot button located on the top app bar and select "Modlog" when viewing general feeds (Subscribed/Local/All). To access a community modlog, navigate to the given community and find "Modlog" in the extended actions.
  • Mod reports are now available to view and resolve within Thunder via the drawer. If you are a moderator or admin of a community/instance, you should see a new "Reports" option under the general feeds. Only post and comment reports are available at this time. Private message reports will come in a future update.
  • The user feed has been fully re-worked to provide a better experience similar to the general/community feeds. This means that you can now change the sorting when viewing a user feed, and use the FAB for additional actions.
  • An instance explorer has been added into the Search page. This allows you to explore communities, posts and comments for the current instance.
  • Thunder now has an in-app changelog for updates. It is turned on by default, but can be toggled off in the settings. This changelog should help you keep track of what additions, changes, and fixes have been added in upcoming versions.

ℹ General

  • Improvements to markdown rendering. Spoiler markdown detection has been improved, and there is now initial/experimental support for subscript and superscript markdown tags. Markdown quick actions when creating posts/comments will be added in the near future.
  • You can now customize the user/community name format and style across Thunder! This is accessible through Settings -> Appearance -> Theming. You can adjust the font weight, colour, and format for both user and community names.
  • Improved UI/UX for long press actions, and additional customization options including customizable feed dividers and navigation bar labels.

And much much more. I can't go through all the changes in the changelog, but for those who are curious, feel free to check out the full changelog below.

Hey, sorry I must’ve missed this post previously!

Just to provide an update on this, there is currently some draft work on implementing video playback which you can track in this PR: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/pull/1081

As for when this will be completed, I can’t say for sure but we are aware of this and are working on it!

Reminder: users on instances upgrading to 0.19 (lemmy.world)
 

Hey everyone, just a friendly reminder for those on instances that are either about to upgrade or have recently upgraded from version 0.18 to 0.19 (e.g., lemmy.world, lemmy.blahaj.zone, sh.itjust.works, etc.).

After your instance updates to 0.19, please remember to re-authenticate (i.e., log out and log back in). This is because of some authentication changes made in 0.19 which invalidates the session.

Thanks!

Space after `:::` in spoiler in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Thanks for the feedback! It would be awesome if you could create a new GitHub issue on this so that it makes it easier to keep track of.

Just as you mentioned, there doesn't seem to be a definition for what correctly defines a spoiler tag in Lemmy, so it's a bit difficult to get all the edge cases right! I kept the parsing to be limited to what Lemmy UI produces when you press the spoiler tag (which adds a space after :::). This is also non-standard markdown which makes it particularly more difficult to implement 😅

For reference, this is what Lemmy UI generates as a template:

Alpha Release [v0.2.9]: Moderator actions, high-refresh support, and more! in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Thanks!

I'm hoping to get more moderator capabilities in the next few updates (mainly focusing on modlogs, and possibly mod reports working). If you have any feedback in terms of usability for mod actions, let me know or create an issue on GitHub.

Alpha Release [v0.2.9]: Moderator actions, high-refresh support, and more! in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Hey, thanks for mentioning this. Could you provide some more details on the issue by opening a new issue on GitHub?

It would help to include things such as reproducible steps, OS version, instance, whether you’re on cellular or WiFi, and any other relevant info. Sending a video recording of it would be helpful too! (of the slow typing) Thanks!

Alpha Release [v0.2.9]: Moderator actions, high-refresh support, and more! (github.com)
 

Hey everyone, it's time for yet another Thunder release. As always, there have been many improvements, additions, changes and fixes in this release which should make for a even better Thunder experience. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to discuss it in the Thunder community or on GitHub.

A quick reminder: if you are using the Google Play version or App Store version, please note that it may take a bit of time before you receive the update. Now onto the update notes. This update brings a few major features:

🎉 New Features

  • Initial support for moderator actions. Thunder has added support for some moderator actions such as locking, pinning, and removing posts. To access these actions, simply long-press on a post and select "Moderator Actions" from the menu. Additional moderator actions such as mod logs, and reports will come in a future update.
  • Support for high-refresh rate devices. Thunder should now feel smoother on Android devices with high-refresh rate displays, and should no longer be limited to 60 Hz. For iOS, Thunder also supports ProMotion devices.
  • Customizable post metadata. You can now customize the post metadata information (vote counts, comment counts, etc) on your feed! This can be done in Settings -> Appearance -> Compact/Card View Settings. Simply drag and drop the metadata information you want to see on your feed. The order of the information will be the order that you drag it into the preview.
  • Experimental local push notification support on Android. Thunder has experimental support for handling push notifications locally on Android devices. When enabled, Thunder will attempt to fetch new notifications in the background while the app is not running. Please note that this feature is highly dependent on the Android OS and their battery saving settings

ℹ General

  • Additional UI/UX and quality-of-life improvements. This includes but is not limited to:
    • Support for spoiler markdown tags. Spoiler tags will be automatically minimized, and can be expanded when tapping on them
    • Support for creating cross posts for an existing post, and deleting existing posts
    • Addition of more options including hiding top app bar, medium font scale option, and colorized usernames
  • Added new condensed post body view to the post page which shows a smaller preview of images and thumbnails
  • Added the ability to search posts/comments directly from community feed

And much much more. I can't go through all the changes in the changelog, but for those who are curious, feel free to check out the full changelog below.
