Changelog: July 31st

Build 2023.07.31.17.18

  • Fixed a bug that caused the app to crash if metadata could not be fetched.
  • GIFs are no longer animated in the list view and only within the ImageViewer. This was causing a massive memory issue that crashed not only Bean but also Springboard.
  • Added a new theme: Twinkle.
  • Added context menus to posts — press and hold.

Hi,

I have been testing bean app from quite some time

I’m also testing few other apps for Lemmy along with bean ( not gonna lie )..

So far bean has been one of the best app for Lemmy in-terms of UI and it’s very snappy..

But my only concern is that in-terms of battery usage i feel it consumes more compared to the other apps I’m testing with the similar usage patterns..

Just bringing it to your notice just in case if you could look into improvising on this..

Thanks and totally appreciate your hard work and time on this.

Thanks for the heads up. I’ve not done any real profiling on the app yet so I can’t really comment on this at the moment.

I will be ahead of the 1.0 release on the App Store and hopefully that will reveal any energy usage spikes.

I see what you did there with the Twinkle theme. Very nice.

I’m glad you like it 😄

Since I didn’t get the previous build via TestFlight, I’ve got a request on one of the changes from that one: Can we get some haptic feedback for the press and hold pop up account changer? For some reason, it feels like it should be there to me.

[–] steve228uk@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I’ll look at adding that.

I’m going to be improving this in the coming days as it looks like the conversion from UIImage -> SDAnimatedImage is blocking the UI thread currently.

I’ll push that to a separate queue, show a loading indicator on the ImageViewer and add a badge to show that it’s a GIF.

But… at least I’m not crashing Springboard any more 🙈
