Bean

Bug Report:

I have the theme set to “automatic” but the app doesn’t switch from light mode or to dark mode unless it’s forced closed and re-opened. Most other apps seem to switch as soon as you open them, even if they haven’t been force closed and closed by iOS.

Quite impressed so far :) Some feedback:

• More compact comments would be nice
• voting on a comment sometimes leads to automatic scrolling back to the parent comment (happened when tapping through to a post via inbox)
• scrolling has some hiccups

And, not to bombard you, but there seems to be an issue with replies showing up. I know there are a few replies to my comment shown in the image, but they’re not appearing in Bean. It seems to be a problem in posts with a lot of comments, at least as far as I can tell.

This username appears weird

It should be like this (screen shotted from Memmy)

Posting comments will be coming in the next build. This comment was posted from Bean 😁

Wow, looks good!

Wish list:

• Swipe right anywhere on the screen to go back. Not just from the left screen border. (This is what made Apollo spectacular)
• Change font size: being able to have HUGE fonts would be nice, not just kind of large (as like now, only tiny).
• Tap comment to collapse it and all below.

Thank you.

I’m here just to say THANKS! Great app. I understand that maybe it has some issues, feels a little buggy, but man. It’s an Alpha!!!

I hope that you can keep the development.

Kudos.

A new build (2023.7.19.22.28) is rolling out to TestFlight now.

Changelog

• Posts, Communities, and Users no longer hide the tab bar.
• Added the ability to comment on posts. Replying to comments is coming soon.
• Fixed post context menu not working.
• Fixed toasts appearing in the wrong place on non-translucent themes.
• Fixed scrolling to top offsetting incorrectly in non-translucent themes.

How do I up/downvote comments?

Hi, I found another bug: my replies in comments are not being shown under the right parent.

Here’s how it’s shown on Liftoff (and on the web page):

And here’s what’s on Bean:

Thanks again for your app

lovley app but the keyboard wont appear when i reply ( iphone 11 ios 17)

A third option for “view” in the main page would be great. Right now we either have the full view with a larger photo and article preview, or a really condensed one with the thumbnail on the left and a headline.

Not sure what it would look like, but maybe something in between the 2?

Also, a full BLACK/Dark mode would be great. Right now, some of the app still has a grayer UI in some spots.

This is really promising! Obviously missing some major features, but damn is it sexy. When we can comment and vote on comments, this might already be good enough to be my main Lemmy browser app. Great start!

Hi, here’s a short feedback:

1. A more compact view for the timeline: Mlem does it perfectly!
2. Look and feel has a slight edge over all other apps I am testing - I didn’t I didn’t miss any on iOS!
3. Disappearing bottom bar is not good, but the idea is nice if instead of disappearing, it would minimize a la Safari address bar.
4. Jump to alphabet letter in the community list - maybe tapping the letter brings up an alphabet grid?
5. Icons are golden! Clean and funny.

Good job and bring it on!

Can we get an option to hide read posts?

Hello. Me again. I’m on the latest build, I believe. A couple more notes and thoughts.

-Love the ability to hide read posts. But is it possible to disable the feature inside communities? In other words, they would be hidden on the main feed, but if you click into a specific community, your read posts would not be hidden.

-Long community names seem to cause a visual issue. See image.

Hi again, thanks for your work, the app is getting better on each release. I found something else: the voting bar on the last comment is being hidden by the bottom navigation bar, so I can’t vote or comment on it:
