Hi there, me again 😄 coming to you with another release. This release adds in some initial support for creating posts and comments, as well as a whole bunch of other things!

For those on TestFlight, the update should automatically install on your device. I have not personally tested this, so if someone could let me know, that would be great!

There is also a discussion page here for any general discussions about this release if anyone is interested: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/discussions/43

Thanks again for all the support so far!

    Yeah, the loading times is something that I want to improve a bit more in the future. There’s a lot of different factors that play a role in why it takes a while to load:

    • Instance responsiveness and how fast the server responds back
    • If there are a lot of images being loaded, then it also takes a bit of time, especially if you’re using the “full image height” setting
    • Optimizations in the code to better handle loading/caching data, etc.

    This will hopefully improve as instances get better at handling loads, and once more optimizations are made in the code! 😅

      The loading times have actually gotten better since I’ve used the app more

      It’s down to 5 seconds now which is reasonable

      One issue I’ve noticed is that the app does refresh itself and open up like you’ve opened the app after closing it if you leave it open in the background for too long

      I have turned off background optimisation just to test and it still happened
