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.

Please leave feedback either here or on GitHub.

Note this is very much a work in progress still and this is very barebones. I plan to continue work and submit nightly builds on TestFlight, so be on the lookout for the new releases.

Happy scrolling!

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!

Currently posting this comment using the testflight beta, this looks pretty good! Good work :)

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!

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?

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

First comment from it, and I’m totally digging it over Mlem. Something about it feels more familiar to me already as a longtime RIF and Narwhal user!

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Giving this a try!

Have been using Mlem for a while now... But I find it worth to try and provide feedback!

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

I just installed and loaded it up. This looks like a fantastic start. I hope I can provide feedback as I use it more!

[–] fennec@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Loving the app so far! Swiping left from a post to return to the feed is working perfectly.

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

It is awesome. Very stable for such an early release.

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?

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

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!

[–] worfamerryman@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don’t see the update. I’m still on the old version.

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

Have you checked the TestFlight app for an update?

[–] ImFresh3x@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Wonderful. Where can I donate?

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

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

[–] columns_columns@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

This looks great! I used Sync on Android and this looks similar. Hope to see an Android build soon.
