Got some ideas/requests.
This is my favorite app so far. Love the swipe controls and the compact UI. Liking the snappiness of it all.
Ideas/requests
- Add direct messaging (I can see my messages but can’t respond to them).
- Add trending communities when you click search/a way to explore communities rather than having to type in the specific community you want.
- Make it so clicking on “all” at the top of the screen opens a menu that gives you the option to switch between all, local, subscribed and specific subs and functions as a search.
- Allow user to customize UI a bit more, specifically in compact mode I’d like to be able to switch the side that the preview thumbnail is on.
- Show profile banners and have a way for users to customize their banner and profile pic.
- Add an edit post function.
- Add sidebars.
- Ability to save drafts on posts and comments.
Keep up the amazing work! ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ–
I might be crazy but is there an area where we can see our own post?
I can’t figure out how to block people/communities but everything else is great
Hey thanks for all the incredible feedback! If possible could you also create issues for them on GitHub? That way, it’ll make it easier for me to keep track of all these so that they don’t get lost!
You bet!
It would make more sense if you put your requirements on GitHub as an issue. It’s best not to summarize everything in one, you can’t work with that. https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder
Would love to see a save post ability as well, it’s a big oof to not have that although I still love this app over the rest right now
Allow user to customize UI a bit more, specifically in compact mode I’d like to be able to switch the side that the preview thumbnail is on.
I whole heartedly agree with this one.
Personally, I’d really appreciate the option for the theme to automatically switch between day/night modes based on system settings.
Also, would love to see a little pop up on the inbox at least notifying me that I have messages, if not the number of them as well.
Moving thumbnails is in next version. See the changelog for more details
Automatic light/dark mode will be coming in the next release!
Inbox features will continue to improve, its still a very early feature 😅
Username checks out
How do we upvote comments in the Thunder app? I see comments with more than 1 point but no way to upvote them. The up arrow only shows up on the main post.
Currently, performing actions on comments are swipe based. That means if you swipe a comment to the right, you’ll be able to upvote and downvote. If you swipe a comment to the left, you can reply or save that comment!
