Hey everyone, I just wanted to provide a big announcement that Thunder is now available on Google Play Store!

The direct link to the Google Play Store listing is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hjiangsu.thunder

As far as general releases go, I’ll try to keep all the different versions in sync (GitHub, Google Play, TestFlight) to minimize the amount of confusion.

I would like to give a big thanks to @CTalvio for helping with the graphics and screenshots that you see on the listing page, and others for contributing to the overall project! This would not be possible without all their help. Thunder is a community-driven project, and all your contributions towards the project help shape the way it is. If you are interested in contributing to Thunder in any way, feel free to reach out!

    Awesome! Will the beta chanel still be through GitHub or are you also setting up beta testing through play store?

      For now, beta/pre-release stuff will be on GitHub until I figure out how to do it through Play Store as well. My thoughts:

      GitHub:

      • Will always be here for those who don’t want to use Google Play Services/TestFlight for preference reasons

      Google Play:

      • General releases in parity with the general releases on GitHub/TestFlight
      • Beta stream for the pre-releases, in parity with pre-releases on GitHub

      TestFlight:

      • For now, it’ll only be for general releases since there’s no way to easily create “streams” for people who want to be in the beta stream
      • Eventually, if possible, get it on the App Store for general releases, and then TestFlight will be for beta pre-releases

        Congrats! It’s been fun seeing how fast this app has progressed over the past month. It’s made my transition from Reddit seamless. Thanks for doing what you do.
