[BUG] Issue here

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.

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 🙈

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.

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

Yeah, I’ll look at adding that.

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

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.

Hey Steve. I’m guessing the “Surf” theme is a placeholder? It doesn’t seem to do anything.

Running into a bug where images don’t load in the feed (seemingly random) but load fine when post is opened. This is one example of a post that showed a blank image icon until clicked

Full height image preview seems to have stopped working in latest build. I’m seeing clipped images even with the option toggled on. Worked fine in previous build. This post is one example:

I'm having problems with the communities tab in the most recent release. Entries are sometimes getting duplicated or showing out of order, and I'm experiencing stuttering and slow loading. The app is slow to respond if I try to navigate away from the communities tab- sometimes taking several clicks or seconds to respond- while responsiveness in other tabs is normal. The battery usage has also been noticeably higher than before. I'm on an iPhone 11 pro, 16.5.1.

  • The duplication seemed to continue the longer I stayed in the tab and would cause jumping to other areas without any input on my part.
  • Duplicate entries are clickable links that lead to the correct communities.
  • The issue seems worse the more communities I'm subscribed to. I'll attach screenshots from the account with the most subscriptions, but other accounts show only one or two duplicates and my account with the fewest subscriptions didn't have any issues. I unsubscribed from a few on this account and am no longer seeing duplicate entries but am still experiencing the slow loading/high battery usage.
  • Unrelated but certain subscriptions are missing from the tab, notably !kbinMeta@kbin.social. This community shows up under my communities in other apps I'm testing, but not in Bean; maybe because the display name starts with a / and the other apps are sorting by the actual link?

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

That’s really weird!! I’ve not experienced this myself. I know it’s a pain but would you mind deleting the app and reinstalling?

[–] oolong@lemmings.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sure, I tried deleting and reinstalling and was not able to reproduce the duplication issue, though the slow loading/page jumping around/lack of responsiveness is still present.

Out of curiosity I tried subscribing to a new community and the bug reappeared, though not as bad this time:

I tried reinstalling again and the bug still persisted. I then unsubscribed from a community bringing my subscription count to 200 and that seems to have resolved the duplicate entries for now.

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

I’ll subscribe to a tonne of communities on my test account and see if I can replicate this.

[–] oolong@lemmings.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fwiw I tried this experiment again on my lemm.ee account to make sure it wasn’t instance-specific:

The sounds used for up/downvotes aren’t all that pleasant, if I’m being honest. Maybe it’s the volume, maybe it’s something else.

There’s some issue with the time on the posts. It doesn’t match up with the time posted when opening the post.

Edit: just noticed as well, on the first pic 2 posts down from the one circled says “10 mins from now”. In the future?

Bug Report:

I have the theme set to “automatic” but the app doesn’t switch from light mode or to dark mode unless it’s forced closed and re-opened. Most other apps seem to switch as soon as you open them, even if they haven’t been force closed and closed by iOS.

Will you consider building Lemmy search into the app? https://www.search-lemmy.com/ I feel like this could be a really useful tool

Quite impressed so far :) Some feedback:

  • More compact comments would be nice
  • voting on a comment sometimes leads to automatic scrolling back to the parent comment (happened when tapping through to a post via inbox)
  • scrolling has some hiccups

And, not to bombard you, but there seems to be an issue with replies showing up. I know there are a few replies to my comment shown in the image, but they’re not appearing in Bean. It seems to be a problem in posts with a lot of comments, at least as far as I can tell.

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

This seems to be a .world issue at the moment as I’m having trouble loading them there too 😖

There's a bug that downvotes/upvotes of my own posts are not displayed correctly, even after force restarting the app/ reloading that post

[–] orangeNgreen@lemmy.world 0 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.

Hi, so far seems great! I’d like to request some new features, but won’t do that now, so I’ll focus on something I found while scrolling, it flickers sometimes. I’m on iOS, scrolling through beehaw with the default app settings

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:

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