Best part about the new icon set: it feels like I’m giving a cat a little tiny high five with my thumb every time I open the app.

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!
tested this out a bit more, i saved a new post inside of bean and this post did in fact show up in bookmarks. it looks like any previously saved posts are what’s not showing up. i believe the post i saved before was via memmy. going to test it out by saving a post on lemmy on desktop tomorrow and see if the same result happens!
edit: tested out by saving a new post on memmy and checking bean; that post is showing up on bean in bookmarks. weird quirk but i think the solution might just be for users to re-save previously bookmarked content if it’s not populating in bean
Huh, that’s so weird. They should be coming out from the API. Are they showing on the website okay?
i may have figured it out; the post in question that i'm not seeing in bean is this one - https://lemmy.world/post/401441
(i tried unsaving/saving from desktop as well as inside bean and am getting the same result)
the community this post is from is https://lemmy.world/c/kbinMeta@kbin.social - i wonder if that may have something to do with it? i also tried saving a different post from this community and was also unable to see it on bean
interested to hear your thoughts!
Ah it’s Kbin! It’s possible there’s an issue with the interop between Lemmy and Kbin via ActivityPub. I’ll see if there’s an outstanding issue for this on the Lemmy GitHub tomorrow.
awesome, sounds good man!

Minor feedback on theme:
Is there a way to use accent of the main color theme to color the upvote and reply swipes

I’ve pushed an update to the way images are rendered tonight which I’m hoping will finally (finally), finally (FINALLY) fix the crashing issues caused by GIFs and animated webp images exhausting memory allocation.
I have noticed that it’s broken the full height images option (sorry about that) so I’ll be patching that back in tomorrow.
In the meantime, I’d you encounter any issues with GIFs, please let me know.

More GIF changes
Build 2023.08.07.11.30
- Added a badge to the card view to show that an image is a GIF.
- GIFs are now played in a WebKit view. The transition when opening is glitchy so will be improved soon but… No crashing! (famous last words?)

Since the last update, communities and comments haven’t been loading quite right. Always possible that it’s a .world problem, but I’m using Voyager right now without any apparent issue. I’ll try again in a couple hours and see if there are still issues.
Edit: I take it back. More exploring on Voyager reveals the same problems. Looks like it’s a .world issue.
In the last update, I’m no longer able to pin/unpin communities. I added a lifetime subscription.
I can confirm this. Pins aren’t working for me either.

Some more feedback:
- search for comments would be nice
- I think the splash screen should only be a skeleton of the tab bar/nav bar. The icon might not fit the user chosen app icon, also it makes the app feel slower. Apple’s HIG also recommends the skeleton
- images in the feed should have the full height (otherwise most memes and posts aren’t readable without a tab and dismiss)
- Searching comments is on my list.
- I know HIG recommends the skeleton but I’ll have the same issue where that splash might not match theme chosen by the user and that’s even more jarring.
- There’s a setting for this under Display > Full Height Images
