Oh hey look, its another release around the corner! This release adds in OLED dark mode, initial inbox features, better accessibility, compact mode, and improvements to a whole bunch of things too long to post here.
Obligatory message: If there are any developers out there who want to contribute to this project, that would be greatly appreciated!
Update: A hotfix has been released to fix some initial issues with the release: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/releases/tag/v0.2.1%2B7
To see the full details of this release, check out the GitHub release announcement: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/releases/tag/v0.2.1%2B6
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!

It has been incredible to see all the community support and feedback from the last release! Let’s continue this and make Thunder an even better experience :D
Hey, thanks for all the feedback! I’m glad you’re enjoying it 😁
Right now, you can swipe right from the feed view to open up the sidebar! No need to tap on the hamburger icon
I think that’s a good idea! If you don’t mind, feel free to create a issue on GitHub for it to be tracked! It’s a bit difficult for me to keep track of all the suggestions on here 😅
This is actually hopefully coming in the next release! Someone kindly contributed to fixing icons on Android as I don’t have a physical Android device to test on
Thankyou!! For now, I wont accept any donations because I want to make sure I can create and deliver something that is fully featured and good to use first! This initially started as a personal project of mine and it continues to be (although I have spent a lot more time over the past week organizing things and fixing things since Thunder blew up so much 😅)
Sorry if I’m missing something obvious, but I can’t figure out how to get the side menu to pop out unless I press the hamburger menu. If i slide from the center left edge, it upvotes a post in the feed. If I slide in from the edge of the left of the screen, it uses the back button gesture and exits the app. If I slide from the menu at the bottom, nothing happens at all. This is on a Pixel 7 with gesture navigation - maybe it works with button navigation, but it does not seem to work with gestures enabled.
Update: I have added a gesture for the bottom nav bar to open and close the side menu when you swipe left/right!
Hmm, that may have just been an oversight on my part 😅 Thanks for giving me a more detailed description, I’ll see what I can do!
When you mention slide right on the bottom, do you mean swiping right on top of the feed, search, account, inbox, settings part of it? Or was it something else? I’m just trying to get a visual in my head for how it would look like!
