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

Comments now work in the profile! Nice.

If I may make a feature request: I think it would be nice to be able to sort comments inside threads.

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.

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

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

Oh, that’s no good! Is it happening when performing a certain action?

[–] TSR55@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Seems to happen just scrolling the feed. Goes blip & im back to my Home Screen. I like what you’re doing, I’ll keep using it.

Search is now available in the latest build. Please let me know if you encounter any issues.

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

Doesn’t appear to do anything for me. I’m on lemmy.world - might be an instance issue.

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

Can you double check you're on the latest build? It should show a screen like this.

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:

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

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

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

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

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.

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

No sudden exits so far, thanks!

[–] 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!

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

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.

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

Suddenly I’m unable to post links. It keeps saying invalid url.

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

[–] orangeNgreen@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Some links have way too long of a preview. Is there a way to cut it off? This is on the feed.

Image uploads are broken: JSON Parse error: Unexpected token: <

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

I was able to make an image post, but it definitely wasn’t as smooth as usual. I had to reload the app to see my post.

  • If I want to reply to the OP-Post I can’t swipe it but have to press the little speech bubbe/ comment count.

  • it would be a nice QOL feature to open posts by clicking anywhere instead of the headline only (card layout).

  • I can’t see my comments in my own profile (maybe .world problem).

  • I can’t find the button to create a post in a community

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

You should be able to press the floating action button in the bottom right to reply to the post.

Comments on profiles is in the known issues list along with new posts.

I’ll look to improve the card layout soon.

[–] infinite_zero@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I’m on lemm.ee and also can’t see the comments on my profile.

New post creation has not been released yet.

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

Bean doesn’t seem to recognize the ! links.

See post here: https://lemmy.world/post/2020542

[–] dsemy@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

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

Changelog: July 31st

Build 2023.07.31.17.18

  • Fixed a bug that caused the app to crash if metadata could not be fetched.
  • GIFs are no longer animated in the list view and only within the ImageViewer. This was causing a massive memory issue that crashed not only Bean but also Springboard.
  • Added a new theme: Twinkle.
  • Added context menus to posts — press and hold.
[–] infinite_zero@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Since I didn’t get the previous build via TestFlight, I’ve got a request on one of the changes from that one: Can we get some haptic feedback for the press and hold pop up account changer? For some reason, it feels like it should be there to me.

I’m going to be improving this in the coming days as it looks like the conversion from UIImage -> SDAnimatedImage is blocking the UI thread currently.

I’ll push that to a separate queue, show a loading indicator on the ImageViewer and add a badge to show that it’s a GIF.

But… at least I’m not crashing Springboard any more 🙈
