For those on Android, theres a few things I would like to get your feedback on (I don't have a physical Android device so I cant see it for myself):
Icon looks great, Thunder is capitalized! Material You is working beautifully, though I might consider having it theme the floating New Post button as well?
AMAZING release, dude!
The logo looks great, a bit more elegant! Thunder is capitalized and the Material You theme seems to work great, though I don't know enough about how it's supposed to look to say for sure. It does seem to use the right colours.
I just downloaded the app. I love the feel, look & everything so far!
I'm such a baby at this, so please excuse my ignorance. But I can't seem to like comments under posts. Am I just missing something?
Also I don't know where to find my comments that I've made. Again, am I just so dumb I can't find it? How do I see My posts & comments & how do I like other ppl's comments? Please & thank you.
Sorry, I didn't know where else to ask this. π₯Ί I love this app so much rn.
Hey! Thanks for trying Thunder out :D I would like to preface this by mentioning that this is still in (what I would consider) very very early alpha. Because of this, there's still a lot of features that I'm working hard to bring to everyone in the community!
But I canβt seem to like comments under posts.
You can perform actions on comments by swiping on them! Currently, that's the only way to upvote/downvote, save, and reply to comments
Also I donβt know where to find my comments that Iβve made.
This is currently in the works! In the next release, I'm hoping to have a more detailed profile view where you can see your posts, comments, and hopefully saved items
I hope this answers your questions!
The app feels amazing! One thing that I personally want is the possibility to share images, gif or videos as they are, not only as a link to the post..
Other than that, I'm switching from connect!
You added everything I asked for and everything else I secretly wished for! What an amazing update, you are awesome! The new icon and Material You theming are A+, thank you so much for all your work on Thunder.
It is one of the best designed lemmy app so far but my biggest issue with the app is that after scrolling a certain amount app becomes so laggy to the point it becomes unusable. Hope the issue is fixed soon.
I'm an Android user so let me know if more info is required.
Can we get fully collapsed comment threads back as an option? Also when a comment is collapsed, there should be some indication that there are child comments hidden
Nice update! Any word on support for refresh rates above 60? Whenever I scroll on my 120hz screen phone the app feels like it's lagging.
Hey! I am aware of the performance issues and am working to improve them slowly over time
Thanks! Just to clarify, it's locked to 60Hz on Android. So it's not that the performance is dipping, it just doesn't seem to support high refresh screens.
@darklightxi this app is still under development but it's very promising.
the icon for me is a square with white background, and the loading posts is a hit or miss, but still it's way better then all other clients I have tried in it's current state, nice
Don't forget to unpin the previous release and pin this one !
Loving it so far, I'll probably be back with more feedback after testing but so far the one change that's weirding me out a bit is the new collapse only collapsing the parent comment. For some long comments it was very handy to collapse them and have a one line preview. Maybe a compromise with a pixel height would could work ? I just had a comment with a screenshot bigger than my screen and was sad when I clicked on it and still had to scroll the full length.
New settings are great <3 Great work !
Hey! Thanks for the quick feedback! I think for this, there's different opinions on how it should be handled.
I think the best solution to this would be to just add in a setting which allows you to switch between the two methods of collapsing :D Feel free to open up a issue on GitHub for this!
Can't exit app (clean install). Using Samsung A71 5g One UI 5.1
This is a known issue, and should be fixed in the next release!
Yoooo this is the best Lemmy Android app I've tried by far! Will this be on the Play Store eventually?
Changelog says that now read posts dim the posts if you open them, but that is not working for me.
Whoops, I just tested it out again, and I forgot to dim the posts on the default view. If you switch to compact view, you should see them dimmed!
I'll fix that for the next release
Thanks for the clarification!
Is the Android version 64-bit only? I can't install it on my older phone with 32b system.
Congrats for the monet icon!
Am i the only one who can't find the starred/saved posts? Material theming ππ
Viewing saved posts will hopefully come in the next release π
Well, I tried th respond to your request guy android specific feedback. But, ahhhh, it won't open up the action bar to reply to comments, votes, etc at all lol.
It is, however, showing as Thunder, the icon looks great, and so far everything else is smooth. Haven't played around much though
Well, the reply function is on the right swipe menu, but there's no edit option :)
Everything looks good but I am experiencing some skipping or lag when scrolling down.
Yup, Iβm aware of some performance issues and Iβll hopefully have some improvements to those soon
No rush, just making mention of it. Keep up the great work!
