Bean

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

I found Bean to be the best client - but it’s gone. What’s everyone using instead?

I can’t find the app anymore on the App Store and when I click on the sidebar’s link a popup shows up and says the app is not available in the region.

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,

It would be nice if it were easier to block/mute someone. Not sure why it’s not an option upon long holding over the person in question. 🤷🏻‍♂️

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.

What happened to the ai summarizing?

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?

Now Lemmy 0.19 has been released it would be great to see the new "Scaled" sort option in Bean. Hopefully its a simple request.

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.

I know the devs had some other commitments that we due to end last month, but its still radio silent here.

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.

Would love to see some mod tools added to the app. Happy to help test and provide feedback on them if needed.

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.

I have “hide read posts” enabled on Lemmy. Unfortunately it does not show any of my saved/bookmarked posts because of this

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.

No app updates or news for more than two weeks.

It would be cool if we could set a custom theme for both the dark and light mode. For example, I like the notebook theme during the day, but the midnight theme as a dark theme. I’m switching them manually now, would be nice if this was added as a feature.

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.

When I make a Grouped Community it appears as though the posts are all still sorted by Community first, then Hot/New/etc. I sort of expected all the posts to be blended together into a single list based on Hot/New/etc. I hope I am missing a setting somewhere, and that this is not the intended behavior.

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?
