Testing the image feature with beans.

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: being 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.

A new build (2023.7.19.22.28) is rolling out to TestFlight now.

Changelog

• Posts, Communities, and Users no longer hide the tab bar.
• Added the ability to comment on posts. Replying to comments is coming soon.
• Fixed post context menu not working.
• Fixed toasts appearing in the wrong place on non-translucent themes.
• Fixed scrolling to top offsetting incorrectly in non-translucent themes.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but what is a “parse flair”? I can’t quite figure it out from turning the setting on and off.

I noticed another visual issue with the latest version. This time with the comments. Seems part of the comment can get cut off. See image.

Overall, I’m loving the app more and more with each update. At this point, I can use it to lurk without any real issues. I only need to switch to post or to comment with a photo. There are a few “wishlist” features that I’d love to see. But you’re moving real fast!

Posting comments will be coming in the next build. This comment was posted from Bean 😁

Changes: July 24th

Build: 2023.07.24.23.14

• Added the Inbox.
• Added posts, communities, users, and URL search.
• Added option to hide tab bar titles.
• Added an option to hide the inbox notification badge.
• Added an option to hide the footer/actions on comments.
• Moved bookmarks to the account screen.
• Increased the size of the comment indicators.

Note: *The inbox view will be improved tomorrow. It's currently not possible to tap through from there to posts/comments. I'll be fixing this and improving the view with information about what post is being replied to, as well as adding an empty state.

In the meantime, please let me know if you encounter any issues with the Inbox.*

Just wanted to say the swipe to vote features and the haptic feedback are perfect! I think you guys have it down better than any other Lemmy app at the moment!

Looking forward to future updates. I could see this one being my main for sure!

In terms of colours, maybe a darker blue akin to iOS’ default would be nice

I find it a bit jarring that to close the gallery preview I have to swipe down - there’s no option to swipe up. This sort of goes against the UX since I want to continue scrolling down the page after looking at a photo. It always catches me out.

I’m on the latest version of iOS 16, using an iPhone 12 Mini. Just a couple things I’ve noticed in the latest build:

• I can upvote and downvote comments now, but there is a weird delay. I get the haptic feedback, but the vote does not appear until I start scrolling away.

• When clicking on the text of a post in standard view, nothing happens. Might be nice to have that open up the post in the same way as if you clicked the title.

• When I upvote/downvote a post with a link, and it makes it as “read.” Something odd happens. All of the preview text for the link disappears.

Those are the only new bugs I’ve noticed so far. Keep up the great work!

I couldn’t find this mentioned elsewhere, but when I go to view all my comments in the profile page, it comes up blank. Viewing my posts works fine.

Hi, here’s a short feedback:

1. A more compact view for the timeline: Mlem does it perfectly!
2. Look and feel has a slight edge over all other apps I am testing - I didn’t I didn’t miss any on iOS!
3. Disappearing bottom bar is not good, but the idea is nice if instead of disappearing, it would minimize a la Safari address bar.
4. Jump to alphabet letter in the community list - maybe tapping the letter brings up an alphabet grid?
5. Icons are golden! Clean and funny.

Good job and bring it on!

Yes the keyboard appears now. Thank you :)

steve! loving the app so far man. couple questions -

• will you be adding screen swipe to go forward at any point?

• i’m having the same bug that another user mentioned where my saved/bookmarked posts aren’t showing up; it sounds like you aren’t able to reproduce this at this time but just wanted to give a heads up!

thanks again and looking forward to watching this all continue to grow!

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