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–

    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!

        Oh, got it. Thank you. The amount we swipe sideways to upvote is very small, because, if we go a few pixels further it downvotes. Same on the save post and comment side. I see it changes colors and icons too but it performs the action immediately as soon as icon changed.

    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

    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.
