Zoom zoom zoom, new update incoming and Happy (late) Canada Day for my fellow Canadians out there (if there are any out there 👀) 🎉 *I know I skipped v0.2.1+9 - this was because a build failed for TestFlight, which upped the version from v0.2.1+9 -> v0.2.1+10* This update was mainly focused on improving overall performance for Thunder - you should hopefully see less lag as you scroll down your favourite feed or community! In addition to that, a few new major additions have been added, including the ability to view a user's profile, a revamped account page (for posts, comments, and saved posts), editing of comments, ability to download images and of course, more quality of life improvements to make your experience even better! This release has a lot of under-the-hood changes, so its expected that bugs may show up that were previously not there. Please open up a GitHub issue if you find any of those! Obligatory message: If there are any developers out there who want to contribute to this project, that would be greatly appreciated! To see the full details of this release, check out the GitHub release announcement: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/releases/tag/v0.2.1%2B10 For those on TestFlight, the update should automatically install on your device. For those who obtained the app through IzzyOnDroid, that update should eventually reach your devices! There is also a discussion page here for any general discussions about this release if anyone is interested: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/discussions/167 Thanks for reading this far, here's a cookie 🍪 *Also, if you are interested in becoming a moderator for this community, feel free to reach out to me.

Hey there, just wanted to place an announcement here that I have created a separate community for Thunder Nightly. !thunder_nightly@lemmy.world To summarize, the purpose of Thunder Nightly is to have a place for people to test out pre-release versions of Thunder. This includes testing new and upcoming features, as well as checking for any **major** bugs or issues that may become a big issue if it was released as an alpha version here. A quick note: although Thunder is still considered to be in the alpha stages of development, I would still like to be able to release these alpha versions with as little bugs as possible. I am grateful for the incredible support and growth so far from this community, and while it has been simply amazing, it has also made it more difficult for me to keep up with everything myself. This is why I'm reaching out to the community for help! If you think you'd be interested in helping out, feel free to join that community. Otherwise, you can stick around here and do your part by contributing even more feedback!

Surprise! I took some time to go through the process of getting Thunder available on TestFlight for iOS users! Hopefully, this will be more convenient for those on iOS who were previously unable to install the app through AltStore. The plan is to *hopefully* be able to release the same versions of Thunder on Android as an APK (as it is currently), and on TestFlight for feature parity. Thanks again for all the support so far, and share the word! ---- *As always, contributions and feedback are always welcomed!
