Hey everyone 👋

Bean for Lemmy is now available on the App Store for everyone to download!

The app is free to use with a "Pro" plan that gives you access to some premium features like push notifications and multiple accounts, as well as a bunch of customisation options with more themes and app icons available.

Thank you to everyone who tested the app over the last month. I'm really happy with what I've made in a short period of time but… This is just the beginning and I have so much more planned including mod tools, kbin supported more!

I hope you'll check it out and I look forward to hearing your feedback ❤️

What are the lacking “essential “ functions?

Here’s a few off the top of my head. I’ll start keeping a list as I use the app more.

  • No in-line gif or video support
  • Cannot tap to collapse a post
  • Can’t edit comments from your profile screen
  • Can’t tap a comment in your profile to go to that comment in the thread
  • No gesture to swipe from right to left to return to the previous post (ie you’re viewing the All lost, open a post/thread, read comments, swipe left to right to go back to All list, scroll down a bit, then decide to return to the previous thread - in Apollo, you could wipe right to left to return to the last thread)
  • No hide read posts button (you have to do it through a menu)
  • Not enough compact comment option(s) - ie it would be nice to have the upvote/downvote count shown at the top of the comment to the right of the username
  • No default sorting order by list type (ie all, local, subscribed lists)
  • Collapsing a comment thread from the middle of thread does not automatically bring you to the next top level comment
  • Not essential, but doesn’t support animated community logos
