Improvements to posts cards
Improvements to posts cards
Hello, there! I really like the overall feel of Thunder, and very excited to know that there's an iOS version as well (which I have not tried yet tho).
But I think some improvements can be made to the subscriptions list in general: when using either the compact or normal view, it's pretty much plain unless the post itself has an embedded image. And it is even somewhat hard to differentiate individual cards as there is only a (thin) line separating them and the link banner is very thick.
Just for comparison (and maybe inspiration), here is a gallery with screenshots for the same feed in Thunder and two other Lemmy clients:

Hey! For the upcoming release, there's going to be a few things which hopefully aim to address this:
- The divider separating posts will have a bit more contrast with the posts, and will be slightly thicker to add some separation
- You'll have the ability to include a brief preview of the post contents for text-based posts to give some more context about each post
There's still some more work that needs to be done for link previews which will hopefully decrease the number of links without previews (as long as the associated link contains a preview)
If you have any other suggestions for improvements, feel free to make a GitHub request!
Hello! Just wanted to say that it's even worse now on v0.2.1+11 when both automatic theme and use dark mode is enabled in Settings > Theming (for some reason the theme changes when the dark option is enabled).
Hmm interesting. I have not tested that specific case since the dark theme/pure black theme options should technically not affect anything if automatic mode is on! (unless there is a valid reasoning for having both of those options on at the same time)
If you just have the system theme, I think the dividers should look okay? In the future, what we can do is just disable the ability to set dark/black theme if the system theme is on
