v0.2.1+13
Alpha Release [v0.2.1+13]
Wow is it that time again? Why yes it is, its time for another Thunder release! This release has a lot of minor tweaks and improvements to the overall Thunder experience.
A reminder for anyone who didn’t catch the previous announcement, Thunder is now officially available on Google Play! You should also be able to search up Thunder on the Play Store to find it. For more details about the launch, see this post: https://lemmy.world/post/1631968
If you are using the Google Play version or TestFlight, please note that it may take a bit of time before you receive the update. As always, this is an alpha release, so do expect bugs to pop up here and there. Now onto the update notes. This update brings a few major features:
- You can now select custom accent colours! This will allow you to choose a splash of colour which will be applied consistently across the whole app. Please note that Material You has to be disabled for the accent colours to be applied properly
- You can now customize the look of the comment indicators. There are different options to choose from to suit your personal preferences
- There are even more settings for you to customize. You can hide the FABs, hide NSFW posts, show community icons and authors on posts, and even more!
- Improvements to link previews. With this, you should be seeing more link previews and it should create a more consistent experience
- You can now manage blocked communities and users. Simply go to your profile, and there should be a gear icon for you to remove any blocked communities and users.
- You can now access user and community sidebars. If you visit a community, or a user, you can tap in the info icon to bring up a sidebar filled with all the information you could possible want
- Overall improvements to performance. This update should feel smoother and there should hopefully be less stuttering happening overall
- Finally, there has been some under-the-hood changes to allow for localization and translations for the future. Look forward to this in a future update!
We have a Matrix space if you would like to join in on discussions: https://matrix.to/#/#thunderapp:matrix.org
If you find any issues or would like to suggest features, please open up a new issue! As always, contributions are always welcomed here.

A lot of my time has been taken up to work on improvements to Thunder, and to maintain active and meaningful conversations to improve the overall experience for Thunder.
If you would like to show a token of appreciation, you can buy me a coffee! The donations will help support some of the development overhead costs (e.g., apple developer program for TestFlight builds) and other costs!
