[Self Promo] My Lemmy client, Bean is now available on TestFlight
[Self Promo] My Lemmy client, Bean is now available on TestFlight
Hey 👋 I've been working on a new Lemmy client called Bean for the last few weeks and I've put out an early beta.
It's missing some features at the moment but I'm working to get it feature complete by early next week and would appreciate some feedback as I develop!
You can find out more over at !bean@lemmy.world but here are a few screenshots.
Let me know what you think if you do check it out.
This looks great, so polished already!
There's one thing missing that I've noticed a lot of Lemmy clients are missing that I used extensively in reddit clients, and that's the button to skip to the next level comment. It makes long comment threads much nicer to read. Any chance we could get that added?
Nice, time to flick the bean.
So I’m basically running all the current iOS apps and up until now Memmy has been the smoothest, until I tried Bean, I don’t know what you’ve done but there is absolutely zero scroll lag, which is the most important part of any app for me, looks great too
Downloaded and like every app I go looking for the option to increase the font size. Sadly like most Lemmy apps this seems to not be high on the list for early releases . Can’t test it if I can barley see the text in the post and comments without squinting.
Hopefully it is high on the list of things to add. Until them it is still Memmy for me.
This has to be my favourite lemmy app at the moment. Incredible work! Feels very native to ios. Extremely polished for something that’s still in testflight.
Will most certainly be buying this app when it comes out.
Swiping media away is hit or miss right now but I’m sure things will improve in due time.
Impressive stuff man!
ok no one cancel me but i think i like it better than memmy, and ive been stuck on memmy for weeks now
it reminds me of alien blue from years ago!! i'm really excited to dig in and start using it!!
edit: i did have to change the icon bc as a woman, a pink bean looks like a vaguely sexual app lol so i picked tutti frutti
Lookin' like a baked bean...
A BAKED... A BAKED BEAN‽
Hi, thanks for posting (and with the Self Promo tag!). I've added your app to the pinned post.
Just a quick reminder with the new rule clarification around self promo, this is the only post allowed for this app. Future posts should be in your own community. Speaking of, it looks like your post's community link has an additional !bean at the beginning (
!bean!bean@lemmy.world). The web UI is currently linking fine and ignoring the first part, but it might be broken with different parsers.Another one! (DJ Khaled’s voice) Looking really nice! Beans, hehe. I get that reference. Looking forward to seeing it grow!
This is beautiful, really amazing work. Shows a good number of articles on the screen at once (even on a 13 mini)! Clean, simple, great options. Everything I want in an app.
Also, thank you so much for the Pride app icon options. It’s a little thing, but it assures me that the developer is thoughtful and open-minded. 💖
This is shaping up to be one of the top apps, looks and feels like native iOS! there's a few things I noted are missing and haven't been reported yet so here's a list before I forget. Hopefully some can make it into a future release:
- Swipe or sharing actions on comments
- Sorting options for comments
- Default sort of comments & posts
- Option to hide the floating reply button on posts
- Changing color scheme of comment threads line
- Tap to collapse comments
holy shit this app has potential! Will keep an eye on it
This is looking VERY promising!!!! Really digging it so far.
I just downloaded it and used it for a bit, and I’m really impressed. It is going to be fantastic once the rest of the basic features are added. I currently can’t upvote comments in Bean (is it just me??), so I probably won’t be using it much yet, but I can already tell it will be my preferred Lemmy client.
So many apps for Lemmy are coming out, it’s getting difficult to pick one and stick with it.
Holy shit dude, I was not expecting to be blown away by your super smooth app! This will give Memmy a run for its money..
I have a few remarks, tapping on the "comments" section in my profile does not render them properly!
The themes and app icons are awesome!
While I can use the stock CC slider for font size, it would be nice to have in Bean settings, especially since fonts are in one of the logos inside settings 😄
Wow, this looks beautiful! Love the selection of icons, too. It already feels great and I can tell this is gonna be stellar. Just being able to pin communities is something I really missed from Apollo/reddit so it's rad that you've already got it in there! 🙌
Edit: Any chance we can get rotation when viewing images so we can view them in landscape? As an older lady my close vision is going and I often need to go landscape to see/read things better. :)
Trying it right now, I must say it looks gorgeous
- It looks great, but I don't understand why there is a NSFW filter in the settings since we already have one in the account. Is it because you want to add more filters in the future? Stuff that would be impossible to do from the settings of your own account?
- Can you add a setting to remove haptic feedback? I hate this in every application.
- It's so good I would pay for your application.
@steve228uk New to the fediverse, but how do I connect my mastodon account to this?
I’ve been using it for a couple of days now. Very nice so far
Keep up the great work.
