  • Just wanted to chime in here - I also think having a chat-style widget would also be best for private messages but would be difficult to implement without some workarounds (mainly due to the limitations of the API as you mentioned)!

    But then I discovered that there’s no API call to retrieve your sent messages

    From what I can see in the API, there is a creatorId field that can be specified to grab chats for a given user. This could potentially work by passing in your own account id to retrieve your sent messages (although, this would likely return back your sent messages aggregated across all users so it wouldn’t be ideal)

    It would be a bit of a hack but we could call that API endpoint, and cache the results locally to be used in chats. This adds a layer of complexity since we would need to consider how to keep messages synced up (e.g., if a user edits a message elsewhere, it should be reflected here). There also doesn’t seem to be a way to get a specific private message by id, so that also complicates the issue further 😅



  • Hey there! As others have mentioned, there is currently no way to reply to private messages in Thunder. However, I have heard this feature request a few times, so I’ll try to increase its priority.

    My priorities at this time is to add in additional comment moderator actions, so this will likely have to come after that is implemented. Hope that helps clear things up!








  • Hey there! Good question - I can answer them for you

    Are drafts stored indefinitely?

    Right now, they are stored indefinitely. They’re stored similarly to how your app settings are stored, and the only way to clear them is to uninstall and reinstall Thunder.

    If I keep creating new drafts without ever finishing them, will my storage get full?

    That’s a possibility but it’s very unlikely that your storage will get full just from stored drafts since they’re just plain text. Text usually takes up very little space compared to other data (e.g., images)

    Is there a way to see all my current drafts?

    Is there any way to delete drafts?

    If you go back to a previous draft, you can delete the draft but that’s all there is at the moment.

    That being said, we are working on features for better draft management to allow viewing/deleting drafts. The related GitHub issue is here: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/issues/1375

    Hopefully this answers all your questions!



  • That’s a coincidence! I don’t believe that’s actually Thunder since that looks to be a Windows app (although you can technically build Thunder on Windows so there’s a very slim chance)

    was wondering where this is originally from?

    Here’s a bit of backstory!

    The Thunder logo was inspired from other thunderbolt vector images that I encountered online. All of the images I encountered felt very “sharp” so I simply tried to adjust the corners to be more round.

    So while there isn’t technically a “source” of the logo (at least that I’m aware of), I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s already something very similar! 😅
