Thanks for the update! I’m looking forward to the next release. Is Thunder Nightly the one on testflight? Or is there an even more alpha release I can get?
Just wanted to give you an update that the TestFlight pre-release version is currently under review, and should be available sometime later today! (if all goes well)
Hey! Sorry for the delayed response but would it be possible for you to create a new issue on GitHub with a bit more details (if not already done) so that we can track this issue?
Providing a bit more details on how to reproduce this issue would be greatly appreciated!
Create a comment view has been reworked and is in the codebase though there are still improvements to be made.
With the new create comment view, the create button is on the top bar so it’s always accessible. Touching the top bar will not close the create comment dialogue either.
There is still the issue of a comment draft not persisting and your place in thread being lost after creating a comment. The latter being a particularly annoying user experience for myself. I’m hoping one of us will be able to address that soon. A few of us haven’t had a lot of time to work on Thunder lately, myself included :(
Time’s always a problem, but I’m happy it’s on the radar!
Would it be possible to do the thing in the Play store that some apps do where we could opt into the “beta program” and get nightly builds? (If having us test it would be helpful…)
Hey! As mentioned on my recent post, I’ll try to get some pre-releases/nightlies on GitHub within the next couple of days. Unfortunately, setting up the beta program on Google Play will take longer and is not something that I am actively working on at the moment, but I do want that to be a thing in the future (long term)
The post UI appears to have the create post button at the top also, and have that same potential to lose your text by accidentally catching that bar when swiping to try to scroll down.
True. What annoys me the most in apps in general (Jerboa included) is the practice of losing your draft at the minor deviation of usual workflow. You gave the example of hitting the top bar, but the same happens when there’s a connection issue or if the app crashes or is closed by the OS to manage memory.
It sounds a little extreme but I recommend a self-keylogging app. The OS doesn’t let them read password fields, you can generally exclude entire apps you don’t want logged, and you can set how long the app holds onto your logs. Look for one that doesn’t request internet permissions, of course.
It’s when you swipe up from bottom of screen on Apple (and Android if you’ve set it up to use gestures), or when you tap the App Overview button on default Android (App Overview is usually the leftmost of three navigation buttons at the bottom of the screen).
What Android version are you using? I forget what the cut off version is but some of the older Android versions had their certificates expire which is what I think is causing this problem. Not sure that there is a work around for Thunder right now :/
Yeah the subscriptions not properly refreshing on account change is super annoying. As a work around, hitting refresh on the feed view will refresh the sub list. Definitely something I want to get around to fixing soon.
