Bean

This username appears weird

It should be like this (screen shotted from Memmy)

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?

In terms of colours, maybe a darker blue akin to iOS’ default would be nice

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:

Closing Bean pauses any music that’s playing.

Steps to reproduce:

• Play music from the Music app (or any other app)
• Upvote a post or comment on Bean
• Exit Bean by pressing the home button or the home gesture.

The music that’s playing would now pause.

Bean crashes when viewing images from image galleries.

For example, this post: https://lemmy.world/post/925265

Don’t know if I’m being really dumb, but I can’t find any way to post to a community. I can reply to comments, but not actually make a post. Also, the search tab has no search box, but is just an empty page with the word “Search” and no way to actually search for anything.

When creating a new post, for some reason it says “2m from now”.

Refreshing too fast and too frequent when filtering the read posts.

The list keeps shifting up and down when scrolling and looking at posts.

I recommend that you filter on user’s manual refresh, not do this automatically.

There doesn’t seem to be a way to refresh the profile tab.

Bean doesn’t seem to recognize the ! links.

I find it a bit jarring that to close the gallery preview I have to swipe down - there’s no option to swipe up. This sort of goes against the UX since I want to continue scrolling down the page after looking at a photo. It always catches me out.

I like it more with each update, but it still crashes on my iPad 7, iOS 16.5.1, after 5-10 min.

Blocking communities doesn’t work.

I also wanted to test if I can block users, but no menu shows when I press the three dots in the top right in user profiles (the settings button on my profile works).

Edit: also, there’s a visual glitch when scrolling to the top of a profile: https://streamable.com/j10p8g

Missing menu option:

If I disable the “Create post” floating button, I can still create a new post from the menu.

If I disable the “Reply” floating button, there is no menu option (or any other way) to reply to a post.
