Hey testers! Please use this thread for give any feedback and report any bugs for Bean 1.1

Hey everyone 👋

Bean for Lemmy is now available on the App Store for everyone to download!

The app is free to use with a "Pro" plan that gives you access to some premium features like push notifications and multiple accounts, as well as a bunch of customisation options with more themes and app icons available.

Thank you to everyone who tested the app over the last month. I'm really happy with what I've made in a short period of time but… This is just the beginning and I have so much more planned including mod tools, kbin supported more!

I hope you'll check it out and I look forward to hearing your feedback ❤️

For whatever reason, Bean shows no content. Other clients show a link or embedded video file.

Like the title says, I’ve been unable to get my unread replies in the inbox. The loading circle just spins endlessly.

That post causes an endless scroll repeating the same text over and over again. This doesn’t happen in a few other clients I’ve tested it with. Same behavior in feed view or post view.

I know the dev is buried in some deadlines, but I wanted to post a feature request for when things pick back up on the Bean side.

Would it be possible to have different sort settings for the main Home feed and the Community feeds? I’d like to be able to sort by “Hot” or “Top” with all read posts hidden while scrolling on the Home feed, but sort by “New” without read posts hidden while in specific communities.

Sorting by “Top” with read posts hidden leaves virtually every community empty at the moment, so it’s a few extra steps to bring everything back.

Thanks Steve!

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

The UI of comment threads gets a bit messy when they get very long.

Example Post

It would be nice if, for example, on iOS devices in settings such as Mona for mastodon, we could choose if we want to translate through Google translator or, for example, Apple's own translator, leaving a window that directly translates things for you instead of opening a window to your browser redirecting to Google translator.

An example:

If you’re accepting theme requests, would you consider something like the reverse of Midnight? An overall light blue look, with dark blue accents. Sort of like this image I borrowed from Etsy. Bean has a lot of great “dark” themes, but I’d say only Notebook qualifies as “light,” other than the standard Light theme, of course. Thanks!

I would be nice to have inline/embedded video playback directly in feeds and/or in the post view (with or without auto play, that could be a user setting).

Currently the experience for me is not ideal, a YouTube video opened in the in-app browser can’t be viewed in landscape mode because the in-app browser locks into portrait mode, which can be a pain, but maybe I’m missing something.
