Bean

Hey testers! Please use this thread for give any feedback and report any bugs for Bean 1.1

I still use Bean as it works for my uses. But, disappointed there wasn’t more transparency and communication. Also, disappointed it wasn’t made Open Source so someone could’ve picked it up. It feels like multiple levels of “screw you” to users

So is Bean completely dead? I noticed it’s not even in the App Store anymore. Still have the last version on my iPhone. Should I delete it?

Now that http://wearecocoon.co.uk is officially out of business (subpages are still working) did anybody try to get a refund in the App Store?

Would like to know more about what’s going on with the development of this app? Any plans? How are things going? What sort of things will be the primary focus in the near future?

Or am I missing something?

Hey Steve,

How do I hide the voting buttons in the feed view? They take away a lot of screen space and I am not voting on anything I have not yet read. I didn’t find this in the settings. Thanks.

1.1 has seen no progress. 1.0 hasn’t been updated in about a month.

I really don't like the desktop web Lemmy UI, it's really ugly in my opinion. Is there an app or something I can use for lemmy.world that'll make it just a little more... idk, prettified?

Seems to fix the image upload issue.

Thanks Steve and team! Hoping for an update that includes widgets soon 😏🫡❤️

Just wanted to see how the app dev is tracking along? Can we expect an update before the holidays start? Cheers

Hey Everyone,

Bought lifetime, no updates since then. Last activity from Steve’s account (the developer) on Lemmy was over 3 months ago.

Like the title says, I’ve been unable to get my unread replies in the inbox. The loading circle just spins endlessly.

I know the dev is buried in some deadlines, but I wanted to post a feature request for when things pick back up on the Bean side.

Don’t want to be THAT guy, but I paid for the premium version so I feel like that earns a bit of a pass.

Oddly, communities aren’t loading for me on Bean right now. They are working from desktop and Voyager, so I don’t think it’s a server issue. I’ll keep trying throughout the day though.

I can’t seem to find a way to edit a grouped community list once it’s created. I would love to be able to add or remove communities from the group.

Please add widget support to Bean. I'll even subscribe to Pro for them. I just need a great lemmy app that has widgets like the Apollo app had. Thanks

With the new Bean update I’m not able to open this community anymore.

Hi Tahoma and Verdana are very popular font for good screen reading. Is it possible to support these fonts?

Hey Everyone!

Not sure this can be fixed, but some posts don’t format correctly. Specifically ones with tables, like this one. I didn’t check other apps, and it might just be that tables and apps don’t mix in Lemmy.

The current COVID variant going around doesn’t seem like a pleasant one.

When you tap a message in your mailbox, it doesn’t take you to the message in the context of the post. The issue is that it seems to try to find the message, but then loads more comments which pushes it out of the screen and I have to scroll up or down to fin it again. It should first load all comments then scroll automatically to the desired one.

When browsing Subscribed page, add in some random high ranking articles from other random communities (with a marker to show it’s not part of your subscribed /c) this can allow you to discover new places without browsing in All.

The comment editor doesn’t seem to account for the formatting bar, because the bar obscures text being typed at the bottom when it is longer than the size of the editor. This is on iOS and v1.06.

I’m often participating in multiple conversations at once. So it’s particularly necessary to go to the original context when reading a comment reply.

I just bought the Pro Lifetime subscription and I’m loving the extra features, specially the ability to group communities from different instances.

Hey everyone!

Just seems more consistent. Liked the tabbed nature of Apollo, where each navbar button had its own context. Like I am browsing the bean community through the settings tab rn. And would like to easily leave to respond to an incoming message and then come back to where I left off.

Should the Basic Theme’s Automatic do just that without having Bean Pro?
