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!

Thanks for cross-posting this here! It's nice to see how the Markdown implementation compares against other apps. I'll definitely use this as a reference for checking Markdown compatibility in the future!

Hey there, thanks for the feedback! This should now be implemented in this PR: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/pull/1510

If all looks good, this should land in the next nightly build.

Hey there, sorry for the late reply!

Could you describe the specific mod features you’d like to see for comments? Right now, there’s no specific timeframe for when they’ll be added but I can gradually add them in over time (depending on what features take priority over others)

[–] darklightxi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Sorry for the late reply, and thanks for mentioning this. As others have mentioned, it would be great if you could make a new bug report on GitHub for this issue! It makes it easier to track and ensures that it doesn’t get lost/forgotten.

This is a bit technical, but as for why this may be happening, it seems like it might be trying to parse an HTML tag when rendering to text. HTML tags usually use < and /> to indicate the tags, which seems to be similar to the cases you’ve pointed out.

Hey there! Good question - I can answer them for you

Are drafts stored indefinitely?

Right now, they are stored indefinitely. They’re stored similarly to how your app settings are stored, and the only way to clear them is to uninstall and reinstall Thunder.

If I keep creating new drafts without ever finishing them, will my storage get full?

That’s a possibility but it’s very unlikely that your storage will get full just from stored drafts since they’re just plain text. Text usually takes up very little space compared to other data (e.g., images)

Is there a way to see all my current drafts?

Is there any way to delete drafts?

If you go back to a previous draft, you can delete the draft but that’s all there is at the moment.

That being said, we are working on features for better draft management to allow viewing/deleting drafts. The related GitHub issue is here: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/issues/1375

Hopefully this answers all your questions!

That’s a coincidence! I don’t believe that’s actually Thunder since that looks to be a Windows app (although you can technically build Thunder on Windows so there’s a very slim chance)

was wondering where this is originally from?

Here’s a bit of backstory!

The Thunder logo was inspired from other thunderbolt vector images that I encountered online. All of the images I encountered felt very “sharp” so I simply tried to adjust the corners to be more round.

So while there isn’t technically a “source” of the logo (at least that I’m aware of), I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s already something very similar! 😅

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!

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 😅

[–] darklightxi@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Hey, thanks for the report! Could you create a new issue on GitHub for this with more details? For example:

  • Is the whole app laggy or just specific portions?
  • What type of lag are you experiencing? Is it slow load times or unresponsiveness
  • Is this an update or a fresh install?

And any more relevant information that can help us narrow down the issue!

One thing that might help is to try clearing your app cache. You can do this through Android, or by going to Settings -> Debug -> Clear Cache

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

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.

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. This community is growing incredibly fast and it's getting hard for me to handle all this by myself

 

Hey there, this community is to help test pre-release versions of Thunder!

I will be releasing pre-release versions here so that anyone that is interested can help out with general testing to find any major bugs or issues that would otherwise affect the larger amount of users who are currently in the alpha-releases.

As such, be fully prepared to know that these pre-release versions may contain major bugs which could cause Thunder to crash or behave unexpectedly. When testing a new pre-release version posted here, please try to limit the posts to bugs, and not feature requests.

As these are pre-release versions, I will most likely not use GitHub as a way to send out these pre-releases. I am trying to find an alternative site to upload the corresponding APK/IPA files, so feel free to suggest any sites that may fit that purpose!

Thanks again for all the support!


I would also like to ask if anyone is interested in becoming a moderator for this community or the main Thunder community. It has been growing at a incredible pace, and it is becoming more and more difficult for me to look through posts and answer all the questions that people may have.
