The day has come for another new update! This update adds a lot of things, and fixes a lot of issues that it is hard to summarize in one page. Before I go on to the update notes, I would like to give a big big big shoutout to all the contributors that have been helping for this past week.

This update was an accumulation of all their work, along with some of my usual work. These contributors include but are not limited to @bactaholic, @micahmo, @Fmstrat, @CTalvio, @ajsosa, @guigs4, @coslu, @minicit! In addition to that, there have been others who have been helping with clarifying issues, bringing up ideas, and providing feedback. Some of the names to shout out are @machinaeZER0, @krestenlaust, @Poolitzer

Please let me know if I have missed anyone :D Now onto the update itself.

Important: it is highly recommended to reinstall the app for the best (and least buggy) experience possible

This update brings a few major features:

• Swipe customization - you can now assign different actions to the left and right swipes
• Font scaling - you can now set a font size for titles and content
• Various UI improvements - you'll notice various tweaks which should improve the overall look and experience of Thunder
• Addition of comment sorting - you can now sort comments from any of the available options
• More sharing options - you can now share posts, links, and media from the dialog menu when you long-press on a post
• Improved performance to long comment threads - you should experience less lag as you scroll through long comment threads

As always, this is an alpha release, so do expect bugs to pop up here and there. If you would like to see the full change log containing all the additions, changes, and fixes, you can check them out here: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/releases/tag/v0.2.1%2B11

I have also created a Matrix space for Thunder for those interested in joining: https://matrix.to/#/#thunderapp:matrix.org. I'm still new to Matrix, so suggestions on improvements to the space is greatly appreciated!

I would just like to thank everyone so far for the amazing support so far. Thunder is still a project that I can only work on the side, and it has been incredible so far. 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, I have a opened up a few donations links. I would like to preface this by saying this is completely optional, and does not change anything with regards to Thunder. The donations will help support some of the development overhead costs (e.g., apple developer program for TestFlight builds) and other costs!
