Hey there! Thanks for the feedback - I recently started to notice this as well so I've been putting more focus into improving overall performance and scrolling! This is still a big work in progress so it might take a while before all these improvements make it out into a release.
For a bit of background, most of my time developing Thunder has been through an iOS device (as that was the only device I had access to). On iOS, I would say the experience is generally pretty smooth. Only recently did I gain access to an Android device where I finally started to notice some of the stuttering that you're mentioning.
Oh hi! Thank you for the all work that you do. Like I said, Thunder is still my current favourite of the android clients.
I appreciate you/the app and will be patiently watching for future updates. :)
Thanks for the kind words!
will be patiently watching for future updates. :)
If you'd like, you can keep an eye out on [email protected] for any nightly updates (these are updates that happen more frequently, but might contain some more bugs than usual)
Scrolling seems fine to me, but I'm not the most attuned to these things.
I'm on Voyager but I hope you find a solution. That would annoy me quite a bit.
It's fine on iOS but the Android app feels very stuttery
It seems fine to me on a Pixel 7 Pro. The only thing I don't like about scrolling is when there are large pictures in the post body or comments. Scrolling down is fine, but scrolling up to where it has to show an image again causes severe jumps.
Yeah, I'm coming from iOS (mlem) and tried out a bunch of different apps. I picked Thunder on Android cause it has all the features and style I want, but the scrolling and loading of feeds feels not as smooth/fast as other apps.
Feels smooth on S21U at high refresh rate
Wait nevermind, I just tested it again and I see the stuttering now. I can't unsee it 😭
Thanks for coming back to post this.
I see people saying 'feels smooth to me' all the time, while being oblivious that it is absolutely not. Just leaves people like me and OP frustrated and without solutions
I notice the stutter too. Boost is the smoothest for me.
Scrolling isn't my issue. It's the lack of direct messaging and other little things like a functioning >!hidden text!< Button that keep me from using it.
