This is the third pre-release of Thunder for v0.2.1+12! This nightly adds a ton of improvements to UI and UX, and includes some major features such as the ability to add images to posts, an overhaul of settings page, and more!

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

These are some of the changes that have occurred since the last pre-release. For things to test, I would suggest all the usual actions, and all the new features/changes which have been introduced in this nightly:

Changes

  • You can now attach an image to posts when creating them - contribution from @MrAntonS
  • Fixed an issue where copy/pasting into the Search bar - contribution from @ajsosa
  • Minor UI changes - contribution from @micahmo
  • Tapping on back on a different page will go back to the Feed page first - contribution from @micahmo
  • Improved UI for showing comment users and their roles (OP, own comment, admin) - contribution from @micahmo
  • Fixed issue where Thunder would always start up in dark mode - contribution from @micahmo
  • Overhauled settings page to be more intuitive - contribution from @CTalvio
  • Fixed issue where subscriptions list would not update after subscription changes - contribution from @micahmo
  • Added comment button actions, with an option to enable/disable it in the settings
  • Swipe actions can now be set to none to disable them
  • Feed view will no longer show full screen error messages, but rather toast notifications
  • Tapping outside the text field when creating a comment will dismiss the keyboard
  • Fixed issue where only 50 subscriptions are shown on the subscriptions list
  • Fixed some issues with talkback/voice-over
  • Fixed issue with GitHub links not working in Thunder

Um. If you disable post swipe gestures comment swipe gestures are supposed to work but dont. You are left in a state where you cant reply to a comment without enabling show comment action buttons. You can long press it but you cant upvote, downvote, or reply from the resulting menu

  1. Go to settings > Gestures
  2. Enable the switch for "Disable Post Swipe Actions"
  3. Return to the feed and open a post with comments
  4. Try swiping a comment.

Note, i am using compact mode so idk if this is an issue in card mode as i never use it

Edit: could upvote, downvote, reply (or edit if its your comment), and save be added to a comment long press menu anyway? The reason behind this request is talkback and voiceover users really cant do the swipes and the show comment actions setting adds many more buttons to go through on screen so neither is desireable

That should be fixed in the next nightly!

For the vote and reply actions on comments, could you add that in as an issue? Thanks!
