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.”

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.

[–] steve228uk@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Can you try the latest build and let me know if it still persists?

[–] mondul@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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

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.

[–] Vub@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] steve228uk@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Text size is now available in the latest build!

Swiping anywhere is on my wish list, I just need to figure out how that behaves in tandem with swipe gestures on the individual rows.

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

[–] steve228uk@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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

  • Fixed scrolling to top offsetting incorrectly in non-translucent themes.

How do I up/downvote comments?

[–] steve228uk@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This will be coming in a future build. Tomorrow's build will likely feature changes to comments.

[–] ArbitraryMary@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Ok great thanks! On a positive note, it looks bloody lovely. I’m very impressed with the layout and UI. A few suggestions that are on my wish list for any Lemmy app:

A darkish mode: white text on black can be quite jarring. I’d prefer a white on a dark grey option.

Swipe gestures: I’d like full page swipe to go back and turn off any comment swiping up/down vote gestures.

Communities need to be in alphabetical order

Search button, click on it, it should put the cursor into the search box so I can immediately start typing.

I’m sure the list of people’s wants/needs will be massive. Great job so far!!

[–] sethadam1@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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!

[–] ArbitraryMary@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

This username appears weird

It should be like this (screen shotted from Memmy)

[–] miket@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Can we get an option to hide read posts?

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:

[–] mondul@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Also, for some reason, if I try to scroll to the bottom of this post, the app exits without any error prompts:

Can you test this one on the build I’ve just pushed? I have worked a lot on the comments to fix a memory leak and the order issue.

Thanks for reporting! I’ll fix this and the issues with dark mode tomorrow 😊

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.

Bean crashes when viewing images from image galleries.

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

[–] steve228uk@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’ve not been able to replicate this. What device are you using and are you on the latest build?

[–] fluffy@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

iPhone SE 3rd generation. Bean build 2023.7.22.2.35

Does not crash if I open the first image in the gallery.

Crashes if I open any of the other images in the gallery.

Also it does not crash if I open the first image and then swipe through to the other images.

[–] steve228uk@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Okay, I’ll see if I can replicate this. That’s a weird one!

[–] fluffy@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] steve228uk@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks for the report, I’ll add it to the list.

[–] 0000011110110111i@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] miket@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Read the known issues in the megathread post you are replying to. It is not yet possible to create posts yet. Search is not supported either.

[–] miket@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.
