[Pre-release] v0.2.1-alpha.2+11 (github.com)

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

New release is so smooooth - I love it! The .95 scaling is definitely an improvement for me on Android from the last release :)

Do you have a list of features you want implemented before the next "true" alpha/going to beta?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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!

The egde to egde images feature works really well, and I didn't see any bugs. But rhere should be a height limit 9n images, see the post I made in the main community.

I can't seem to edit in this version, also can you add viewing profilesvfrom comments?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Hmm - did you try reinstalling the app to see if editing works? There was some changes in the way it detects which comments are yours

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you talking about editing comments? Other than seeing my username I can't see which comment is mine and can't edit them.

Also when replying to someone it shows a grey box in the "replying to section" and when you tfy a "show preview" of your comment.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hmm, I cant seem to reproduce the issue of not being able to edit comments

However, I do see the grey box you were talking about - I’ll check out what the issue there is

Edit: testing edit

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I just reinstalled the app and it's not working, also now my subscriptions don't show up(which might be because of my internet, everythings been really slow recently)

Edit: nvm it's because of my instance - subscriptions show up fine on Lemmy.world

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Also being able to sort comments is good and I think no editing is because of the new gesture settings

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yay, talkback reads OP again correctly. Thanks as that was super annoying

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Text before post feature is very welcome! Along with lemmy.world improvements the app feels great to use!
