A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's great to see more clients popping up. While the basic design of the feed and comment section are well thought out, I still prefer a native Swift UI application to a React Native application. I get why it's using React Native, but still.
Great job though!
There are a few things that are a bit harder to do with RN given a bit of easy access to APIs, but you can always make modules to interface with native code. For one, this little image thing I used is just pulled from a library. It's a bit iffy, and I am writing a replacement for that now. Same with markdown rendering.
As far as the UI itself, it gets pretty close to what you'd see with a native UI, if not exact. But I certainly do understand why from a dev standpoint you'd like to use SwiftUI, it's great!
If there's anything that you'd like to see in the UI though let me know!
It is awesome. Very stable for such an early release.
Really nice! Super impressive for a 0.1 release. I'll follow the development on this one.
I like this a lot and can tell there was a lot of work put into it. Only suggestion so far is to make it obvious in the top bar whether you’re looking at a local, subscribed, or federated sort right next to Hot, Top, etc.
I will keep using this, thanks for posting!
It says I need a code when I open the app to use it. I’m not finding a code anywhere

I created an issue on GitHub but I’ll comment here also - I can enter the server name but when I go to enter my username I can enter one character and then the cursor goes back up to the server box

Pretty cool so far, replying from the app 🙂
this is great! I really enjoy the UI and the feel of this app.
@gkd@lemmy.world - any plans to allow for adding multiple accounts?
Is email required? I am having issues logging in with my existing account, that only has username and password. Said could not find username or email.
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
Testing it now, seems to work pretty well. Aside from search, which you said you’re working on, links don’t seem to work? It would also be nice to have somewhere to see replies to your comments/post. It would also be nice to see what instance each community comes from. Thanks for your hard work!

Wonderful. Where can I donate?
And is there a memmy community?
There's a "Buy me a coffee" link at the bottom of the github page: https://github.com/gkasdorf/memmy
memmy@lemmy.ml is the community.
I don’t see the update. I’m still on the old version.
Have you checked the TestFlight app for an update?
Beehaw doesn’t use downvotes, but some instances do. Do the downward-facing arrows disappear, or simply not do anything when on an instance that doesn’t use downvotes? …or are those arrows something else entirely?
Ah I didn't know about this. I'll have to see how to get that information and render accordingly. Thanks for letting me know!
Looks great! Bit of a pain during login because it would bring my cursor back to the server line after each letter when I was typing in my username
Other suggestions would be: Search feature (which you mentioned you would be rolling out soon) A way to block communities we don’t want to see (only option now is subscribe)
