Question above. Right now if I try to install nightly and I have stable installed I get prompted to update. Are we going to be able to have both installed simultaneously?

I'm not prompted at all by the nightly. So far I've been just following the community and manually installing the new version of the nightly.

Ahh yeah, that should be the case. I don’t want the pre-release versions to be notified to everyone since it can contain breaking issues

Maybe in the future I’ll have a way to do pre-releases alongside the more stable releases, but I don’t have the capacity to do that at the moment!

Hi, how is that a capacity issue? Can't you just give it a different app identifier?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I think I used the wrong word there - by capacity, I meant more of how much I am able to deal with at the moment!

If I introduce a new app identifier for the nightly builds, I have to then effectively manage two separate app releases/streams, which will take up time that I could use to work on new features or fix existing issues with Thunder. It's currently a lot simpler for me to just change the version build to identify pre-releases vs. the more stable builds since that's a one-line change for me to do

Hopefully that makes sense!
