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

    i dont mean to suggest anything that’s been talked about but thunder is my favorite ui look out of all the apps

    would it be possible to add searching for a post? i think liftoff, for example, has post user and community searches

    also a toggleable community profile picture thing would be neat (the small picture next to community names) im no app dev though so im not sure the implications

    im just nitpicking i think its a great app

      More search functionality is definitely something I want to work on in a future update!

      also a toggleable community profile picture thing would be neat

      This is definitely possible! I would suggest you to check GitHub for any issues that are already present about this, or if not, create an issue for this so that it can be tracked!

      also i periodically get an error retrieving info or something it says ubunto if that is any indication

      This usually indicates an issue with connecting to the instance you’re on - maybe the instance you’re on is experiencing issues?
