Bean

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

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 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!

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

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).

Still needs swipe to upvote and reply within posts.

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.

Testing the image feature with beans.

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

Just testing, I was told to mention @[email protected]

A new build (2023.7.19.22.28) is rolling out to TestFlight now.

Changelog

• Posts, Communities, and Users no longer hide the tab bar.
• Added the ability to comment on posts. Replying to comments is coming soon.
• Fixed post context menu not working.

• Added the Inbox.
• Added posts, communities, users, and URL search.
• Added option to hide tab bar titles.

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.*

How do I up/downvote comments?

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 noticed another visual issue with the latest version. This time with the comments. Seems part of the comment can get cut off. See image.

Overall, I’m loving the app more and more with each update. At this point, I can use it to lurk without any real issues. I only need to switch to post or to comment with a photo. There are a few “wishlist” features that I’d love to see. But you’re moving real fast!

Just wanted to say the swipe to vote features and the haptic feedback are perfect! I think you guys have it down better than any other Lemmy app at the moment!

Looking forward to future updates. I could see this one being my main for sure!
