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.

Thanks so much! There's a few variants in the settings 😄

[-] Jacobp100@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

What did you use to make the icon?

[-] steve228uk@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

It might seem old school, but it was made in Photoshop

Hey Steve. I’ve got a question. If I click on those screenshots the comment gets collapsed instead the screenshot going full screen. Are you aware of it and are you planing to implement full screen pictures in comments in the future?

[-] steve228uk@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

This should be fixed in the next build. It was a regression bug due to the implementation of the collapsible comments.

[-] robmexx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You‘re faster then light buddy. Thanks a lot. I really love your app. As soon as everything is working properly I can uninstall every other Lemmy app.

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)

[-] ymhr@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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?

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!

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

[-] Jackolantern@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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!
