Hey 👋 I've been working on a new Lemmy client called Bean for the last few weeks and I've put out an early beta.

It's missing some features at the moment but I'm working to get it feature complete by early next week and would appreciate some feedback as I develop!

You can find out more over at !bean@lemmy.world but here are a few screenshots.

Let me know what you think if you do check it out.

It is still missing some core features so it cannot be my main app for now. But I definitely keep this one installed. Really beautiful work.

Thank you! A new build with comment upvoting and replies is rolling out now. Inbox and settings will be completed in the coming days 😊

[-] spiderman@ani.social 3 points 1 year ago

This app really looks nice! Any ideas on bringing Bean to android?

I really like the design. Can’t wait to see it with more features working!

[-] steve228uk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you! More stuff rolling out now like comment upvoting and replies 😊

[-] Yuper@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I love it! My favorite one so far. Looks very polished. My only concerns are 1) how do I get the images big like in your second screenshot and 2) please let me customize the swipes.

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

If you tap the icon in the top left corner on home to change the view. Customising swipes is on the list but I’d love to know what exactly you’d like them to be.

It looks great, but I don't understand why there is a NSFW filter in the settings since we already have one in the account. Is it because you want to add more filters in the future? Stuff that would be impossible to do from the settings of your own account?
Can you add a setting to remove haptic feedback? I hate this in every application.
It's so good I would pay for your application.

[-] steve228uk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, there will be a bunch more filters in there in the future such as keyword filtering. I'll see if I can pull down account settings but that's mainly there to mitigate any potential issues with App Store review.

[-] steve228uk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I will add an option to remove haptics in the next build 😄

@steve228uk New to the fediverse, but how do I connect my mastodon account to this?

[-] maegul@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I’m not on top of all the apps, but this looks like the sort of cleanliness I’d be into. Very nice interface.

Also, as I’m sure you know, great icon.

[-] steve228uk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you 😄

[-] nixx@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

I’ve been using it for a couple of days now. Very nice so far

Keep up the great work.

[-] KuroJ@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Damn, not another Lemmy app that I have to add to my TestFlight!

Update: Very clean and smooth app. The icons are awesome. The upvoting works when scrolling through topics but not in the comment section.

Good first impression, looking forward to future updates!

[-] steve228uk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Haha, hopefully Bean makes it to your home screen 😇

[-] robmexx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Installed minutes ago, already fell in love. Would be my daily driver for Lemmy now. One question: are you planning to let users edit the swipe gestures? Instead on „save“ I would like to have „hide“

Beautiful app! I will definitely be keeping an eye out for future iterations. Looking forward to you implementing the ability to collapse comments, vote on comments, etc.

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

Comment voting is rolling out on TestFlight now. I’ll be working on gestures for collapsing etc tomorrow

Downloaded it through TestFlight however when trying to login, the app crashes.

I love the placement of the upvote/downvote buttons on the posts in All / Subscribed / Local. Any possibility of having a similar design for individual comments as well?

It would be very convenient for my single hand usage of the app versus having to reach all the way to the left to upvote 😊.

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

Do you mean on the side rather than below?
