[Self Promo] My Lemmy client, Bean is now available on TestFlight

My god that icon is beautiful haha

I tried it. The interface is fast and clean and looks like native iOS app.

I just can’t seem to upvote or downvote comments.

However despite that, your app is one to watch out for. Congrats and keep up the good work!

Looks incredible! I'm on Android but just wanted to say how nice your app looks. Great work (and amazing app name, hahah)

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.

Just DL the TestFlight. Gorgeous app, feels very slick and native feeling. Will continue to test and give feedback as it matures.

I'll give it a good flick.

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!

Already my Nr1 Client fir browsing Lemmy!

Extremely well done! Can’t wait to see where this goes. Downloaded and will keep up with the progress.

One feature I’ve been dreadfully missing from Reddit apps is the “jump to next popular reply” button in a thread (if that’s the correct way to describe that)

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

Wow I’m in, it’s really slick

Another one! (DJ Khaled’s voice) Looking really nice! Beans, hehe. I get that reference. Looking forward to seeing it grow!

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.

So far, it’s pretty awesome! Love the Beans icon I can use haha. Good job!

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. 💖

holy shit this app has potential! Will keep an eye on it

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

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.

This is looking VERY promising!!!! Really digging it so far.

I’ve signed up. Tested it really quick - and it looks great.

Can’t get search to work - no input? And I sure would love filtering/sorting options for top posts within x-hours like on wefwef 👍

Edit: I also can’t see my comments.

It is still missing some core features so it cannot be my main app for now. But I definitely keep this one installed. Really beautiful work.

This app really looks nice! Any ideas on bringing Bean to android?

Trying it right now, I must say it looks gorgeous

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. :)

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 😄

Writing this from Bean, and from my short time with it I do like it. Bright future ahead for all the fediverse and Lemmy apps!

So many apps for Lemmy are coming out, it’s getting difficult to pick one and stick with it.

Wow! This looks great! I love how the interface feels very native.

I love it! My favorite one so far. Looks very polished. My only concerns are 1) how do I get the images big like in your second screenshot and 2) please let me customize the swipes.

I’ve been using it for a couple of days now. Very nice so far

Keep up the great work.

Installed minutes ago, already fell in love. Would be my daily driver for Lemmy now. One question: are you planning to let users edit the swipe gestures? Instead on „save“ I would like to have „hide“

I really like the design. Can’t wait to see it with more features working!

@steve228uk New to the fediverse, but how do I connect my mastodon account to this?

1. 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?
2. Can you add a setting to remove haptic feedback? I hate this in every application.
3. It's so good I would pay for your application.

I’m not on top of all the apps, but this looks like the sort of cleanliness I’d be into. Very nice interface.

Also, as I’m sure you know, great icon.

Damn, not another Lemmy app that I have to add to my TestFlight!

Update: Very clean and smooth app. The icons are awesome. The upvoting works when scrolling through topics but not in the comment section.

Good first impression, looking forward to future updates!

I love the placement of the upvote/downvote buttons on the posts in All / Subscribed / Local. Any possibility of having a similar design for individual comments as well?

It would be very convenient for my single hand usage of the app versus having to reach all the way to the left to upvote 😊.

Downloaded it through TestFlight however when trying to login, the app crashes.

It looks really nice! Do you have a community? Where can submit bugs?

@steve228uk installing :-)

Permanently Deleted

Beautiful app! I will definitely be keeping an eye out for future iterations. Looking forward to you implementing the ability to collapse comments, vote on comments, etc.

hey this is really nice!!
