Since you mentioned RDP over SSH, I thought you might be interested in this GUI tool I made to do just that.
Hi @blackbrook@mander.xyz, is it possible that you could show a screen recording of the issue you're seeing? I'm wondering if you're seeing the playback controls (play/pause/seek/etc). These appear over the video at the very beginning and have a dimmed background so you can see the controls. This is pretty standard for video players (e.g. YouTube does the same). As @MicrowavedTea@infosec.pub said, you can tap anywhere to hide the controls and undim the video.
We don't officially publish a build for Windows, but you can build it yourself and target Windows. Here's what the icon would look like in the taskbar. Not sure if it's exactly the same as what you saw!
I will admit I am very biased as a contributor to Thunder. I'm not an expert on all clients but Thunder has some super cool features.
- Really good markdown rendering (I've seen it render things that the other "big" apps miss.
- The agility to post and (soon) comment as any of your logged-in accounts.
- Notifications for inbox messages, soon to be integrated with UnifiedPush.
- Really good Lemmy link parsing and in-app navigation.
- Ability to favorite communities.
- Customizable swipe gestures, username and community name formatting and coloring, action colors, etc.
And these are just some of the recent things on the top of my head! I'm sure others can chime in with things I missed!
Hey there! You can block communities in a bunch of different ways!
- From long-pressing on a post and pressing the Community option and then Block Community.
- By navigating to a community page, pressing the top banner / info button, and pressing Block Community.
- By navigating to the account page, settings gear icon, scrolling to Blocked Communities, pressing the plus icon, and searching for a community to block.
There may even be some more ways I'm not thinking of. Plus if you block a community via the web UI or any other app, Thunder should respect that.
Let us know if that helps!
Let OP/mod colors take precedence and override the default color with them
I think this is a good idea! This should allow for colorized user/instance names while keeping special user badges distinguishable.
Just chiming in here to say that this has already been implemented in the current prerelease and should be available in the upcoming general release!
That's great, I'm glad to hear the haptic feedback in Thunder works when the system setting is turned on.
To be honest, it feels like the right behavior for Thunder to respect the system setting. I personally keep "Touch feedback" turned down, because I do not like haptic feedback, and I'm glad Thunder and other apps respect that. I tried Voyager, and you're right, it seems to override that setting, which doesn't seem like a good thing to do. :)
Let me know your thoughts, and whether it's an acceptable solution that users will need to enable haptics in system settings in order for it to work in Thunder. Thanks!
This isn't yet supported from the account page (it should be at some point), but there is a workaround. It you navigate to your user profile elsewhere in the app, for example by searching for yourself or tapping your username on a post/comment, then scrolling should hide the banner as you expect. Hope that helps!
Hey, just chiming in here to say that I do get haptic feedback on my physical device (Pixel 8 Pro) when using swipe gestures on both posts and comments.
Make sure this setting "Touch feedback" is turned up.
If you're still having issues, you're welcome to open a GitHub issue (or ask someone here to do it for you), but it will likely be hard for us to investigate if we can't reproduce. :-(
Hi all,
Continuing the discussion from GitHub... Here is the PR I opened.
https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/pull/766
However, there's still some discussion to be had about whether this is the right change.
@snowe, a couple questions...
- Can you log in via Liftoff? They also have a 60 char limit. https://github.com/liftoff-app/liftoff/blob/3055896657ef05772dc5fa18c5b3ab285b93f54a/lib/pages/settings/add_account_page.dart#L199
- When you say, "It seems like the password limit is set to 60 characters so I’m unable to login to my instance.", did you try logging in with a truncated password? Or are you just assuming that, if we limit the length, it won't work? I only ask because this Thunder discussion led us to find that truncating actually works for some users, which is what led to the original limit.
Thanks!!
As one of the Thunder devs, I can say there are markdown libraries. Thunder is written in Dart/Flutter and there is a great library that we use.
https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_markdown
That said, and as others have mentioned, markdown is not as well standardized and it seems like just about every site renders it differently, so there are a lot of edge cases to handle. Lemmy also has several unique implementations of things, such as spoilers, superscript/subscript, and the ability to tag users/communities without a hyperlink.
In fact, one of the things Thunder failed on (table alignment) is a known bug in the markdown library we use. :-)
