Bean

this is my favourite Lemmy app so far, it feels great!

if I may add a couple bits of feedback:

• would it be possible to select the position of the Skip Thread button? I understand that there can be at least 2 buttons down there, but it would be nice to have the flexibility.

• swipe actions in comments are great though I feel they trigger rather easily when scrolling down a thread. not sure if others have mentioned this already but maybe reducing sensitivity so the action is more deliberate could improve the experience?

• just noticed while typing this that the composer is having some scrolling issue with longer posts? I can't see past a specific point unless I hid the keyboard.

regardless, fantastic work! will there be a tip jar or some pricing model released soon? I'd love to support the app's development in some way

Seems like the line spacing is a bit out of whack, definitely not as condensed as it should be (especially obvious in comments).

Changelog: July 30th

Build 2023.07.30.22.45

Smaller update than anticipated this weekend because it was pride 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ and I was out celebrating with friends ❤️

This one is mainly bug fixes but there is a big change to how I'm handling multiple accounts. States are now persisted when accounts are changed. This means if you have a certain post open, switch accounts to browse on another instance, and then switch back — it will still be right where you left it.

• Added state persistence between account switches.
• Added press and hold on the account tab to open the account switcher.
• Removed background on the card and post footer.
• Removed background from featured posts on the single post view.
• Featured post backgrounds are now based on the accent colour.
• Made the entire card view tappable, not just the title.
• Tidied up the card and single post views.
• Fixed issues with bookmarking.
• Fixed issues with sharing links.
• Fixed issues with overlapping content in the post composer.
• Changed search on the communities selector in the composer.
• Fixed a visual glitch between the composer and community selector.
• Keyboard can now be dismissed in the composer community selection screen.
• Fixed an issue with scroll to top offsets.
• Added a link to posts on the Inbox and profile comments views. Still a WIP.
• Content of comments is now hidden if removed by a moderator or deleted by author.
• Added a link to the community on the Inbox and user profile comments.
• Markdown editor is now reset when creating a post or comment.

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.

It seems none of the links at Trending Communities are working for me. Do you know if it’s an issue with how they do their links, or something that can be adjusted on Bean?

They come back with “Unmatched Route.”

Since Steve is amazingly adding more features to knock out our requests, I’ll add more requests.

Can we get collapsible threads?

Thanks.

Hi there,

First issue:

• NSFW Posts just Show a complete black screen. Even the Menu disappears.

Got a couple of things right off the bat:

1. You might not want your username as the placeholder for the username (maybe you do 🤷)
2. If I click on a pinned post the screen just goes black. In this case, it was this post https://apollo.town/post/22726 when browsing my local timeline

Going into a community from the community icon at the bottom makes that bottom navigation bar disappear.

It also disappears if I view a post.

i cant seem to login when 2fa is enabled / there is no option to input the 2fa code

Would it be possible to make the color thread-lines thicker? I can not really make differentiate the different colors as of now!

Hi, so far seems great! I’d like to request some new features, but won’t do that now, so I’ll focus on something I found while scrolling, it flickers sometimes. I’m on iOS, scrolling through beehaw with the default app settings

I love the look of this app! I’ve been trying all of them, and have so far kept going back to Memmy. But this one has the potential to take over! I will be watching with great interest!

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)

Hey Steve. I’m guessing the “Surf” theme is a placeholder? It doesn’t seem to do anything.

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.
