Also seems like you’ve decided to keep the toolbar displayed at all times. I think I do prefer the toolbar displayed, so thanks for it!

Houbsi Jul 18, 2023

Hi there,

First issue:

NSFW Posts just Show a complete black screen. Even the Menu disappears.

steve228uk Jul 18, 2023

Thanks! Fixing this now.

steve228uk Jul 18, 2023

This should be fixed in the latest build (2023.7.18.19.38)

ArbitraryMary Jul 18, 2023

How do I up/downvote comments?

steve228uk Jul 18, 2023

This will be coming in a future build. Tomorrow’s build will likely feature changes to comments.

ArbitraryMary Jul 18, 2023

Ok great thanks! On a positive note, it looks bloody lovely. I’m very impressed with the layout and UI. A few suggestions that are on my wish list for any Lemmy app:

A darkish mode: white text on black can be quite jarring. I’d prefer a white on a dark grey option.

Swipe gestures: I’d like full page swipe to go back and turn off any comment swiping up/down vote gestures.

Communities need to be in alphabetical order

Search button, click on it, it should put the cursor into the search box so I can immediately start typing.

I’m sure the list of people’s wants/needs will be massive. Great job so far!!

steve228uk Jul 18, 2023

All of those are on the todo list!

Thanks for your feedback 😄

ArbitraryMary Jul 18, 2023

Going into a community from the community icon at the bottom makes that bottom navigation bar disappear.

It also disappears if I view a post.

steve228uk Jul 18, 2023

This is currently expected behaviour. You’ll notice it will also disappear when tapping through to a post from the Home screen.

I’m open to feedback or arguments for keeping the tab bar around when tapping through.

ArbitraryMary Jul 18, 2023

I’d prefer it to be there. Just for ease of navigation more than anything. It seems to make more sense like if I am in communities, then in a post, I’d have to tap or swipe back twice to access my inbox or search? Or what if I’m down a rabbit hole of communities, I’d need to swipe all the way back rather than just being able to click home.

steve228uk Jul 18, 2023

Okay, I’ll have a think about it. You can press and hold on the back button to get a stack of history — that’s possible in any iOS app! 😄

TacoEvent Jul 18, 2023

Agree on this, but I’m up for giving the new UX a shot for a bit.

steve228uk Jul 18, 2023

Let me know how you get on. I personally prefer the tab bar disappears so I can read more content on posts etc. but I definitely understand wanting to keep it there for consistency.

Etnaphele Jul 19, 2023

Hi :) I like the idea, maybe you can implement something similar to the Safari bottom bar behavior, that minimizes and then comes back with an up-scroll

Kovu Jul 18, 2023

i cant seem to login when 2fa is enabled

steve228uk Jul 18, 2023

I’ll make sure this is fixed in the next build… Sorry!

steve228uk Jul 18, 2023

This has been added in the latest build (2023.7.18.20.23) but please let me know if you have any issues!

Kovu Jul 18, 2023

works great, thanks!

sethadam1 Jul 18, 2023

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!

steve228uk Jul 18, 2023

Thank you! Commenting is the next thing on my list so expect it within a couple of days 😄

igetzerobread Jul 18, 2023

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

Salimonyous Jul 19, 2023

I am seeing the time stamp on some comments and the posts when sorting all by new as into the future 4 hours from now.

nocturne213 Jul 19, 2023

Same. Also I do not see a way to either leave a comment or make a post. I had to switch back to Memmy to leave this reply.

esturniolo Jul 19, 2023

I’m here just to say THANKS! Great app. I understand that maybe it has some issues, feels a little buggy, but man. It’s an Alpha!!!

I hope that you can keep the development.

Kudos.

steve228uk Jul 19, 2023

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it!

mondul Jul 19, 2023

Hi, so far seems great! I’d like to request some new features, but won’t do that now, so I’ll focus on something I found while scrolling, it flickers sometimes. I’m on iOS, scrolling through beehaw with the default app settings

steve228uk Jul 19, 2023

Are you able to let me know which device you’re using? Are you using the compact or card view for posts? Is it slow rendering of the rows or flickering of thumbnails?

mondul Jul 20, 2023

Hi, sorry for the late answer. I’m using an iPhone 14 (the regular one), and card views. I’ll test with another instance to check if this also happens there 🙂

mondul Jul 20, 2023

I forgot to mention I set the full height images config flag, so it wasn’t the default configs as I said yesterday, sorry about that

mondul Jul 20, 2023

Here’s a video of the issue: photos.app.goo.gl/oLJaGKzmCJ8M7NUe8

steve228uk Jul 19, 2023

Also, I welcome any feature requests! It’s best to get them in now 😄

mondul Jul 20, 2023

Hi, I’ll give you one then: Auto-hide the top bar and the bottom navigation on scrolling, that will give a more full screen (maybe immersive is the right word) experience while using your app 🙂

orangeNgreen Jul 20, 2023

I love the look of this app! I’ve been trying all of them, and have so far kept going back to Memmy. But this one has the potential to take over! I will be watching with great interest!

HydraliskConcave Jul 20, 2023

Incredible work on the app.

Here are a few things I noticed:

swiping media away is sticky and doesn’t carry momentum.
collapsing comments doesn’t seem to work (apologies if this hasn’t been implemented yet)

TacoEvent Jul 21, 2023

Collapsing comments doesn’t seem to be a feature yet. But +1 for it.

Vub Jul 20, 2023

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: bring 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.

steve228uk Jul 20, 2023

Text size is now available in the latest build!

Swiping anywhere is on my wish list, I just need to figure out how that behaves in tandem with swipe gestures on the individual rows.

DeadlineX Jul 20, 2023

One feature I consider necessary: op of a post should have a different color name or a badge next to their name in the comments.

mondul Jul 20, 2023

Hi, I found another bug: my replies in comments are not being shown under the right parent.

Here’s how it’s shown on Liftoff (and on the web page):

And here’s what’s on Bean:

Thanks again for your app

steve228uk Jul 20, 2023

Thanks for the report. This is a known issue and will likely be fixed tomorrow.

AlienStink Jul 20, 2023

lovley app but the keyboard wont appear when i reply ( iphone 11 ios 17)

steve228uk Jul 21, 2023

Can you try the latest build and let me know if it still persists?

ribboo Jul 20, 2023

Literally the only thing keeping me from going with this app instead of Memmy, is being able to sort by top 3, 6 and 12 hours. It’s so smooth.

steve228uk Jul 20, 2023

I’ll add that in tomorrow 😊

Javish Jul 20, 2023

A third option for “view” in the main page would be great. Right now we either have the full view with a larger photo and article preview, or a really condensed one with the thumbnail on the left and a headline.

Not sure what it would look like, but maybe something in between the 2?

Also, a full BLACK/Dark mode would be great. Right now, some of the app still has a grayer UI in some spots.

miket Jul 20, 2023

Dunno what magic you’re using but this app feels really good.

Keep up the great work, this is a great start to potentially being the best Lemmy app.

steve228uk Jul 20, 2023

Ahh thank you! That means a lot 😄

miket Jul 20, 2023

Not sure if you are receiving the crash reports as I don’t see the usual Apple’s crash prompt but scrolling up and down in this mega thread a few time would crash the app.

Also, scrolling fast would show blank spots as well.

infinite_zero Jul 21, 2023

I came here to report this exact bug.

infinite_zero Jul 21, 2023

The bug is still present in the new version pushed out.

infinite_zero Jul 22, 2023

This appears to be fixed in build 2023.7.22.2.35. You’re really working overtime!

steve228uk Jul 23, 2023

Thanks for confirming! That was an annoying one to figure out 😅

steve228uk Jul 21, 2023

Thanks for the report, I’ve been able to replicate the issue and I’m working on a fix.

miket Jul 22, 2023

Definitely fixed now. Thank you so much.

zav Jul 20, 2023

Man this app is already well ahead of all of the other Lemmy clients out there, especially witht eh latest update adding all of the imporvements to comments! Keep up the amazing work!

steve228uk Jul 21, 2023

Thank you! 🥰
