This is the first pre-release of Thunder for v0.2.1+11! (if all things go accordingly and I don’t mess up TestFlight builds again)

Just an update: I’ll have a bit less time this week to work on Thunder, so updates may take a bit longer than before.

Be fully prepared to know that these pre-release versions may contain major bugs which could cause Thunder to crash or behave unexpectedly.

Without further ado, these are the changes from last time (based off changelog):

Added colour to username in comments to distinguish your own comments
Added option to allow text preview on text posts in normal view - contribution from @coslu
Added option to share media link or external URL links in the dialog popup on post long press
Added back featured post icon on posts within a community
Added ability to customize swipe gestures on comments and posts
Added ability to develop with hot reload using docker - contribution from @Fmstrat
Added initial implementation for font size scaling for titles and content - this is very very rough at the moment so feedback is appreciated

Adjusted visual feedback in comment swipe gestures
Added option in settings to enable/disable swipe on bottom navigation bar to open sidebar on feed page - contribution from @bactaholic
Added option in settings to enable/disable double-tap on bottom navigation bar to open sidebar on feed page (this is disabled temporarily) - contribution from @bactaholic
Decreased scroll distance needed in order to fetch more comments from a thread
Improved error messages when more comments fail to fetch within a post
Decreased number of comments to fetch at a time to improve loading performance
Posts now load first before comment threads to make viewing posts more responsive

Potentially fixed issues with HTTPS certificate errors when running on Android using Adguard with HTTPS filtering enabled
Improved performance for comment threads with a lot of comments
Fixed issue where the last comment on a thread could potentially not show up
Fixed issue where markdown links were not respecting “open in external browser” option - contribution from @Fmstrat
Fixed issue with download media not working on Android for some users - contribution from @minicit
Fixed issue where media download button appearance in light mode - contribution from @coslu

For things to test out, I would suggest:

[Pre-release] v0.2.1-alpha.1+11
