You had me a two column viewing :)
Dude. That is sweet!
However, with this being an alpha release, you probably want more than that. I couldn’t find any crashes with a casual run through basic functions, and no bugs in that regard.
However, the bottom bar is behind the navbar on my device (a Lenovo tablet). It makes using the app buttons difficult. Not sure if that’s a me problem (device or settings wise) or a glitch. I haven’t tried it on my phone yet, but I intend to here in a bit.
If there’s anything specific you want us to test or such, holla!
Thanks for the feedback! I’ll take a look at the bottom bar and see what could be causing that
It works really well, and community icons showing is really epic, makes it way quicker to find communities you’re subscribed to.
Edit: pure black theme has to be reapplied when you open the app
Can confirm. I’m using Material theme and it resets on app exit.
This issue is noted and should be fixed in the upcoming release: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/issues/323

I just submitted issue #326 and also noticed that the action buttons are covering “hmmm. It seems like you’ve reached the bottom” message
I just noticed that in Thunder v0.2.1-alpha.2+12 talkback reads (points, time, comment) as one element and then when you swipe right the username is read. Could this be reversed so the username is read first?
As an example if my comment was “i like cheese” it currently reads like this
- Element 1: “2” (points) “0” (i assume comments but it doesnt need to be their) “19m I like cheese”
- Element 2: “shortwavesurfer”
While i would like it to read like this
- Element 1: “shortwavesurfer”
- Element 2: “2 19m I like cheese”
