Features • Roadmap • Contributing • Translations • Building From Source • Conventions
Hey there! Just wanted to let you know that this repo is currently my personal side project to build something cool while learning about Dart and Flutter.
Contributions to this project are always welcomed, and in fact, even strongly encouraged here! Since I am only able to work on this during my spare time, any contributions from the community is valuable. If you are a developer, feel free to tackle any issues present.
Your passion, contributions, and ideas would be greatly appreciated! Together, let's make this project shine. 🚀 💻
General releases can be obtained officially through Google Play Store, IzzyOnDroid, or through GitHub releases.
Pre-releases are available in the Releases section under the corresponding version. You can also use Obtainium.
General releases can be obtained officially through App Store, or through GitHub releases.
Pre-releases are available through TestFlight. An alternative is to download the corresponding IPA file in the Releases section and install it through AltStore.
Thunder is currently undergoing active alpha development, and it is possible that not all features have been fully implemented at this stage. Due to this, significant breaking changes may occur between versions.
This is a non-exhaustive list of features that Thunder currently supports:
The current focus is to continue to expand on the general functionality and stability of Thunder. This includes but is not limited to:

Thunder is developed with Flutter, and is built to support both iOS and Android. There may be unofficial support on other platforms but is not guaranteed at this time (Linux, Windows, MacOS)
To build the app from source, a few steps are required.
stable
channel using flutter channel stable
.flutter pub get
flutter gen-l10n
to generate the localization files.dart scripts/build.dart
, which will build both the iOS and Android release versions. This step is only required if you want to build a release version of the app.Alternatively, you can skip the prerequisite setup and build the Android application via docker with a single command:
./scripts/docker-build-android.sh
You can also run your local development environment for Android via the Docker container, including connecting to ADB on the host machine.
./scripts/docker-dev-android.sh
While there are no specific conventions that must be followed, do try to follow best practices whenever possible.
Suggestions are always welcome to improve the code quality and architecture of the app!
