I am really loving the recent updates to Memmy. It is really taking some massive steps forward and is currently my go-to client on iOS.

One feature that I am really enjoying is the mark read on scroll option. It has been in the app for a while but the recent update now appears to be working as expected. However it now looks to be a little too ‘aggressive’ in marking the post read as I scroll it up the screen.

I barely have the post at the mid-way point on the screen before the post title dims out. Would it be possible to have it mark the post as read as it moves off the screen?

I know it’s not a big thing. I am just personally finding it a little distracting to have the post titles dim as I am trying to read them.

Anyway, great work on the updates. I am really looking forward to seeing what comes next.

Loving the app. However it doesn’t look as if the mark read on scroll option is working.

If I scroll some posts they do not indicate that they have been read by going grey. Unlike when I tap and read a post. Equally tapping the hide read posts button doesn’t make scrolled by posts disappear.

Another couple of examples of what I am seeing.

Posts are too wide (i.imgur.com)
submitted 1 year ago by acetuk@feddit.uk to c/avelon@lemm.ee

I am loving the app. However on some posts the width of the text causes it to lose a few characters both sides, as in the screen shot.

Is this a setting I need to change?

I do tend to like my text a little after than normal due to my eyes. Could it be that?

So far so good for me. No crashing from what I am seeing.

I’m looking forward to trying the updated iPad layout once that is available.

[-] acetuk@feddit.uk 13 points 1 year ago

That looks really good. Looking forward to trying it when available.

Don’t take it off until I can afford to pay for it! 😀

How long will the lifetime discounted option be available for? I will go for that once I hit payday at the end of the week.

Jumping timeline (feddit.uk)
submitted 1 year ago by acetuk@feddit.uk to c/bean@lemmy.world

I’m really loving Bean. Every update is looked forward to.

One of the issues I am seeing is the jumping timeline, something that I have seen mentioned elsewhere. It is almost as if Bean is filling in the timeline with pictures etc which is adjusting the post sizes.

Is anyone else seeing this? It isn’t a huge deal other than you suddenly jump to a different post as you are looking at the timeline. A small thing but a little frustrating.

I find this really interesting. I’m based in the UK and in what is classed as an essential job. So during all of the COVID isolation period I was still going to work, in the same office doing the same thing. I haven’t had a period working from home for a very long time and the idea, whilst appealing in some ways just doesn’t fit how I work today.

[-] acetuk@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

That sounds completely correct to me. I’ll be a pro user for sure.

[-] acetuk@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

Looking forward to trying this out properly.

I’m a little confused by the ‘mark read on scroll’ feature. If I scroll there isn’t anything obvious to tell me that the post has been marked as read (the title doesn’t dim for example). Is that correct? To then see read posts again I need to tap the three dots in the top right hand corner and select the option. Again is that correct? If so do you plan to add a show / hide floating button to make that a little easier to use?

Either way another great update to play with.

Another one from me.

As someone who struggles a bit with their eyesight finding a good balance of font size and readability / usability can be ‘fun’.

Just about every Memmy app I have tried offers some form of font scaling but it is a single setting. Bean is the same (unless I am missing something).

Would it be possible to have an option to set the size of post titles / headings separately to the main post text? This would affect both the timeline view and the post view itself.

That way for someone like me it will give me a chance to find a sensible and much needed balance. As it is now if I push the font size up too much to make the main text size readable then the header is very large.

Any idea where this fits in your development timeline?

Bean is seriously good. I am opening it and using it regularly. The only thing I am missing right now is this feature.

Great work so far. Keep it up! 😁

[-] acetuk@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

I got that one! 😄

As the title suggests. Bean looks superb and is extremely good to use in these opening minutes.

However one option I always used on Apollo (and others like ReddPlanet) was to mark posts and comments as read on scroll.

This allowed me to scroll through things that did not interest me so much and not see them again unless needed (by tapping the button).

Is this functionality on the list to add to Bean?

Crash. It was the first and only movie I nearly walked out on.

[-] acetuk@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

I am exactly the same. I have posted here more times than I did on Reddit in total.

There is just something ‘nice’ about being here. I love that there are region/area specific sites you can join and go from there. I have joined the UK specific Feddi.uk and have found a lot to enjoy.

Let’s all help make this the place to be going forwards.
