    Thank you so much for your work !

    Super glad to see the arrival of the inbox though it still need works. When I open the inbox it shows up empty even though I’ve had replies in the past. I have to tap twice the envelop icon in the top right to make those past replies appear. So I guess the state of the page is :

    • Unread by default
    • Tap the enveloppe and toggles unread so no changes
    • Tap the envelopp and toggle read and now the old replies appear

    Not a fan of that enveloppe icon in general I think it’s confusing. I’d rather have the unread messages appear in the same place but with a different/lighter background to show their state. This is personal preference as opposed to the previous point though.

    Also not sure if it’s the app or a mistake, but your first link in this post opens a 404 in Thunder. Opening the link in an external browser (nice new feature btw) shows that it tries to open “…tag/v0.2.1%252B6” as opposed to “…tag/v0.2.1%2B6”.

      Thanks so much for all the feedback and trying out Thunder - I appreciate it!

      Yeah, definitely - I just wanted to bring in some initial inbox features so that it can then be the basis for improvements from the community

      I have to tap twice the envelop icon in the top right to make those past replies appear.

      Oh hmm, I must’ve missed that - feel free to create a new issue on GitHub so that this issue can be tracked!

      I do somewhat agree with that - I like your idea of making read messages with a lighter background, so I’ll mess around with that when I have the time to see if I can implement it in a way that still feels functional!

      Hmm, I’ll take a look into that

        Submitted the issue to GitHub !

        For the lighter read background thing, we should try to find something that would also work for posts if that feature is on the roadmap and the best example I have for that is relay.

        Also, love the inbox card shapes you made, maybe it should be the shape of the post cards as well !
