I'm biased because I chat a lot with the developers, but I'd highly recommend Thunder - very sleek, very customizable, VERY nice compact mode, and a very welcoming group of people. If you try it and feel like something big is missing, they're quite responsive on github! Been quite impressed with the leaps they've made with features on every release.
Thunder is a great mix of functions and UI. The compact mode is really great.
I second Thunder. Only a few minor gripes from me but switching from sync (gross ads) has been just fine
Thunder does look quite nice, but sadly my long defunct keyboard app doesn't work with it, and they weren't able to get the apk to test a fix for it. (But they did try.) You'd think, of all things, a keyboard and input field wouldn't have compatibility issues, but I guess that's Android for ya.
Oh, that's a bummer :( what happens when you try to use it?
This is me typing "hello", so it seems like it duplicates all the characters typed so far every time I add a character.
Aw man, that's too bad :/ what keyboard is it?
It's called Kii. You can still get a version from a 3rd party site since it hasn't been on the play store for years.
I'm not sure how much I trust those apk sites, (so downloader beware!) but you can at least see the screenshots: https://www.apk4fun.com/apps/com.zl.inputmethod.latin/
I don't think it's anything earth shattering, but it's kinda nice, and fairly minimal, and it's what I'm used to, so I'm happy with it.
Have you tried other options like AnySoftKeyboard or HeliBoard (fork of OpenBoard)
I'm pretty sure you'll like AnySoftKeyboard, it's pretty minimal and similar to your current keyboard. And it works with Thunder.
You can still submit a bug report for Thunder not working with Kii, I'm pretty sure the Thunder devs would be willing to fix this.
Me old man, me yell at cloud. Change bad.
Thanks, though, I'll take a look at them. (:
I did submit a bug report, but the dev didn't seem interested in getting the apk for testing. I can't say I blame them. Apk sites are a little sketchy, and it's also probably not a bug that'll affect many other people.
Yup. I've configured my thunder to look and feel really similar to the way I had Relay set up. The compact modenis great and the customizability is really good.
Man I've been using Voyager since the beginning after switching off jerboa but all these thunder comments are making me want to try it out!
Give it a shot! Definitely check the settings if you do, the tweakability is fairly expensive - and if anything feels missing let the team know on GitHub!
I'd use Thunder more if they had mark as read while scroll, and hide read posts (I think they already have the later) if these requests are outdated please lemme know.
"dismiss read" is an option you can add to the FAB, and mark as read on scroll looks to be a setting now as well! Haven't used either, but hope they meet your expectations :)
In settings , you can toggle on mark as read on scroll and hide read .
