Bean

I’m on the latest version of iOS 16, using an iPhone 12 Mini. Just a couple things I’ve noticed in the latest build:

• I can upvote and downvote comments now, but there is a weird delay. I get the haptic feedback, but the vote does not appear until I start scrolling away.

• When clicking on the text of a post in standard view, nothing happens. Might be nice to have that open up the post in the same way as if you clicked the title.

• When I upvote/downvote a post with a link, and it makes it as “read.” Something odd happens. All of the preview text for the link disappears.

Those are the only new bugs I’ve noticed so far. Keep up the great work!

In terms of colours, maybe a darker blue akin to iOS’ default would be nice

Changes: July 24th

Build: 2023.07.24.23.14

• Added the Inbox.
• Added posts, communities, users, and URL search.
• Added option to hide tab bar titles.
• Added an option to hide the inbox notification badge.
• Added an option to hide the footer/actions on comments.
• Moved bookmarks to the account screen.
• Increased the size of the comment indicators.
• Refresh the profile screen whenever it’s viewed.
• Removed the large header from communities and inbox for consistency.
• Fixed missing item separators on the profile view.
• Fixed issue where tapping the search tab on the search screen crashed the app.

Note: *The inbox view will be improved tomorrow. It's currently not possible to tap through from there to posts/comments. I'll be fixing this and improving the view with information about what post is being replied to, as well as adding an empty state.

In the meantime, please let me know if you encounter any issues with the Inbox.*

Best part about the new icon set: it feels like I’m giving a cat a little tiny high five with my thumb every time I open the app.

Changelog: July 30th

Build 2023.07.30.22.45

Smaller update than anticipated this weekend because it was pride 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ and I was out celebrating with friends ❤️

This one is mainly bug fixes but there is a big change to how I'm handling multiple accounts. States are now persisted when accounts are changed. This means if you have a certain post open, switch accounts to browse on another instance, and then switch back — it will still be right where you left it.

• Added state persistence between account switches.
• Added press and hold on the account tab to open the account switcher.
• Removed background on the card and post footer.
• Removed background from featured posts on the single post view.
• Featured post backgrounds are now based on the accent colour.
• Made the entire card view tappable, not just the title.
• Tidied up the card and single post views.
• Fixed issues with bookmarking.
• Fixed issues with sharing links.
• Fixed issues with overlapping content in the post composer.
• Changed search on the communities selector in the composer.
• Fixed a visual glitch between the composer and community selector.
• Keyboard can now be dismissed in the composer community selection screen.
• Fixed an issue with scroll to top offsets.
• Added a link to posts on the Inbox and profile comments views. Still a WIP.
• Content of comments is now hidden if removed by a moderator or deleted by author.
• Added a link to the community on the Inbox and user profile comments.
• Markdown editor is now reset when creating a post or comment.

Seems like the line spacing is a bit out of whack, definitely not as condensed as it should be (especially obvious in comments).

Changes July 27th

build 2023.07.27.16.16

• Added the ability to select a community from the post composer.
• Added a FAB to the home screen to create a post.
• Added the ability to mark a post as NSFW.
• Added loading indicator when creating a post or comment.
• Improved the quality of images uploaded. May need to reassess if servers deem them too large.
• Wrapped the Markdown accessories in a scrollview for smaller devices and future buttons.
• Shrunk the link preview if there’s no image found.
• Removed the preview from the comment composer (it may come back, I’m still deciding if I like it or not).
• Turned the fullscreen swipe off by default. I don’t like that it was changing the iOS animations due to the pan gesture handler, but the option still remains.

Any feedback on the post composer is welcomed

this is my favourite Lemmy app so far, it feels great!

if I may add a couple bits of feedback:

• would it be possible to select the position of the Skip Thread button? I understand that there can be at least 2 buttons down there, but it would be nice to have the flexibility.

• swipe actions in comments are great though I feel they trigger rather easily when scrolling down a thread. not sure if others have mentioned this already but maybe reducing sensitivity so the action is more deliberate could improve the experience?

• just noticed while typing this that the composer is having some scrolling issue with longer posts? I can't see past a specific point unless I hid the keyboard.

regardless, fantastic work! will there be a tip jar or some pricing model released soon? I'd love to support the app's development in some way

Maybe this is a stupid question, but what is a “parse flair”? I can’t quite figure it out from turning the setting on and off.

Still needs swipe to upvote and reply within posts.

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’m all registered for the notifications. Notify me if you dare!

Hi there! Seems like the app theme doesn’t switch automatically when device theme switches between light/dark mode (when settings for theme is set to device theme).

Yes the keyboard appears now. Thank you :)

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.

I couldn’t find this mentioned elsewhere, but when I go to view all my comments in the profile page, it comes up blank. Viewing my posts works fine.

Just came across something new. When swiping a pinned post, the whole card changes color. See image.

Hi, here’s a short feedback:

1. A more compact view for the timeline: Mlem does it perfectly!
2. Look and feel has a slight edge over all other apps I am testing - I didn’t I didn’t miss any on iOS!
3. Disappearing bottom bar is not good, but the idea is nice if instead of disappearing, it would minimize a la Safari address bar.
4. Jump to alphabet letter in the community list - maybe tapping the letter brings up an alphabet grid?
5. Icons are golden! Clean and funny.

Good job and bring it on!

Testing the image feature with beans.

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