Bean

Would love to see some mod tools added to the app. Happy to help test and provide feedback on them if needed.

Looks like some significant changes coming to the login authentication. Will Bean be ready to support once 0.19 is released?

Oddly, communities aren’t loading for me on Bean right now. They are working from desktop and Voyager, so I don’t think it’s a server issue. I’ll keep trying throughout the day though.

Edit: They open if I click a link on the feed. But not if I click on a community from my subscriptions.

Edit 2: I was sorting by “Top Six Hours,” so only posts from the last six hours were showing. It was a silly error on the user side. Sorry!!’

I can’t seem to find a way to edit a grouped community list once it’s created. I would love to be able to add or remove communities from the group.

If it exists and I’m missing where to do it, please let me know.

Please add widget support to Bean. I'll even subscribe to Pro for them. I just need a great lemmy app that has widgets like the Apollo app had. Thanks

Edit 1: fuck it. I just subscribed to Pro. Bean is hands down the best lemmy app for iOS. I've literally tested them all; their stable and TestFlight versions. Hopefully my sub to Pro can help keep active development to Bean. Fingers crossed for widgets (っಠ‿ಠ)っ

The post at https://beehaw.org/post/8232257 has an image inside a spoiler, but Bean displays the image outside the spoiler instead

With the new Bean update I’m not able to open this community anymore.

The only thing I see is a black bean.

Hi Tahoma and Verdana are very popular font for good screen reading. Is it possible to support these fonts?

Hey Everyone!

I’m submitting a small update (1.0.7) to the App Store today that changes the following:

• Added new theme: Sky
• Added an option to hide or show usernames on the feed.
• Bookmarks no longer hide read posts.
• Fixed format bar on comments covering text.

Apologies for the delay on getting an update out to you all, hopefully I’m fully recovered from being sick and ready to get some more stuff out to you all soon.

I’m still working on messaging which will hopefully be in 1.1 soon. After that, priority will be iPad with smaller patches for bug fixes in between.

Thank you so much for the support and welfare checks while I was gone. I really appreciate you all ❤️

Not sure this can be fixed, but some posts don’t format correctly. Specifically ones with tables, like this one. I didn’t check other apps, and it might just be that tables and apps don’t mix in Lemmy.

Hope you’re mostly/fully recovered!

Edit: Not sure how to link it so it opens in the app. Sorry.

Edit #2: Checked out the same post on another app, and it had the same formatting issue.

I have “hide read posts” enabled on Lemmy. Unfortunately it does not show any of my saved/bookmarked posts because of this

The current COVID variant going around doesn’t seem like a pleasant one.

When you tap a message in your mailbox, it doesn’t take you to the message in the context of the post. The issue is that it seems to try to find the message, but then loads more comments which pushes it out of the screen and I have to scroll up or down to fin it again. It should first load all comments then scroll automatically to the desired one.

When browsing Subscribed page, add in some random high ranking articles from other random communities (with a marker to show it’s not part of your subscribed /c) this can allow you to discover new places without browsing in All.

No app updates or news for more than two weeks.

How‘s the development coming along?

I still get random crashes while scrolling.

It would be cool if we could set a custom theme for both the dark and light mode. For example, I like the notebook theme during the day, but the midnight theme as a dark theme. I’m switching them manually now, would be nice if this was added as a feature.

Keep up the awesome work, great app. Enjoying lifetime 🤘🏼

The comment editor doesn’t seem to account for the formatting bar, because the bar obscures text being typed at the bottom when it is longer than the size of the editor. This is on iOS and v1.06.

This doesn’t appear to be a problem in the post editor, as I don’t see the same behavior while making this post.

I’m often participating in multiple conversations at once. So it’s particularly necessary to go to the original context when reading a comment reply.

However, when I get a new comment reply, I click on it in the inbox to go to the context, it appears to try to load the context and scroll to the right spot but if the thread has more comments than fit on a screen, then it just scrolls down one page, and stops scrolling before loading/displaying more comments. This means I have to do a lot of scrolling before I get to the highlighted comment.

It’s actually quite annoying.

When I make a Grouped Community it appears as though the posts are all still sorted by Community first, then Hot/New/etc. I sort of expected all the posts to be blended together into a single list based on Hot/New/etc. I hope I am missing a setting somewhere, and that this is not the intended behavior.

I just bought the Pro Lifetime subscription and I’m loving the extra features, specially the ability to group communities from different instances.

The only thing missing from this I think is the ability to assign an icon to the group. Maybe offer a limited set of options from default icons, o even better, use the icon of one of the communities included in said group as the group icon.

Hey everyone!

Just a heads up that the sale on Bean Pro Lifetime will be ending tomorrow, 31st August 2023. The price will be rising to $49.99 so if you were thinking of picking it up at the 40% discount, now is your last chance (for a while)!

I also want to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to everyone that has supported me in the last couple of weeks. It’s been a extremely overwhelming to see people subscribing to Bean Pro, leaving reviews, or spreading the word about the app.

I made Bean for me and it’s so cool to see other people using it too!

Messaging should be coming next week, but I’ll be taking some time this weekend to knock off some of the smaller issues like automatic theme switching and layout issues in the composer on some devices.

Just seems more consistent. Liked the tabbed nature of Apollo, where each navbar button had its own context. Like I am browsing the bean community through the settings tab rn. And would like to easily leave to respond to an incoming message and then come back to where I left off.

Also, the last line of text on a long message seems to be cut off. Particularly when you don’t put in a newline

Should the Basic Theme’s Automatic do just that without having Bean Pro?

I have to force close the app to have the switch happen when I would assume the Automatic setting would have handled it.

Thanks

I’m not sure if I’m missing something, or if it’s just not implemented yet.

Sorry that I can’t figure out how to add a tag for feature request yet.

Was hoping you could add post hiding as a configurable option for swiping and also swiping comment thread collapse.

Thank you for a good app.
