Hi all - I’m a several-times-a-day Thunder user and really enjoy the app. It’s steadily evolving and improving which is awesome to see and I really appreciate the efforts of the dev team.
One thing that I think is missing is the ability to send and respond to DM’s. Is that accurate (or am I just incompetent) and if so, is there an accepted alternative for handling DM’s?
Hey there, thanks for the kind words!
You’re right - at this time, there’s no way to create or reply to private messages just yet. This is something I want to introduce but I’m just currently backed up with other (not as fun but arguably more important) tasks like preparing Thunder for the upcoming Lemmy API changes and app stability/performance improvements 😅
Given that this has been requested a few times already, I might be able to implement a quick version of this just to have it as an option!
Not at all! Someone sent me a very nice message and I’ve been trying to respond with thanks which is why I ran into this and reached out.
Seriously - great app and hugely appreciate it. Is there a way to finally contribute? I’ve got minimal coding expertise but would like to contribute in some way.
Of course! We’re always looking for contributors to help with Thunder regardless of level of experience.
