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.
You must log in or register to comment.
Holy shit dude, I was not expecting to be blown away by your super smooth app! This will give Memmy a run for its money…
I have a few remarks, tapping on the “comments” section in my profile does not render them properly!
The themes and app icons are awesome!
While I can use the stock CC slider for font size, it would be nice to have in Bean settings, especially since fonts are in one of the logos inside settings 😄
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it! Aware about the issue with comments and a new build with a font slider is rolling out on TestFlight right now 😊
Can my wife flick it while listening to ENYA?

Thank you, that means a lot! 🥰
My god that icon is beautiful haha
Thanks so much! There’s a few variants in the settings 😄
What did you use to make the icon?
It might seem old school, but it was made in Photoshop
Oh nice. I always make very 2D icons in Figma, but for macOS I try and make them more 3D. Not found an amazing way to do that. Is the bean shape a bunch of layer effects over a shape, or are you using an image from elsewhere and using blend modes?
It’s a flat shape with a gradient, then I went over it with the brush to add highlights and shadows with a mix of blend modes like overlay and hard mix
Hey Steve. I’ve got a question. If I click on those screenshots the comment gets collapsed instead the screenshot going full screen. Are you aware of it and are you planing to implement full screen pictures in comments in the future?
This should be fixed in the next build. It was a regression bug due to the implementation of the collapsible comments.
You‘re faster then light buddy. Thanks a lot. I really love your app. As soon as everything is working properly I can uninstall every other Lemmy app.
Nice dab at the official app!
Trying it right now, I must say it looks gorgeous
Wow, this looks beautiful! Love the selection of icons, too. It already feels great and I can tell this is gonna be stellar. Just being able to pin communities is something I really missed from Apollo/reddit so it’s rad that you’ve already got it in there! 🙌
Edit: Any chance we can get rotation when viewing images so we can view them in landscape? As an older lady my close vision is going and I often need to go landscape to see/read things better. :)
Thank you! Added the rotation request to the list 😊
You’re the best! :)
@steve228uk New to the fediverse, but how do I connect my mastodon account to this?
This is shaping up to be one of the top apps, looks and feels like native iOS! there’s a few things I noted are missing and haven’t been reported yet so here’s a list before I forget. Hopefully some can make it into a future release:
- Swipe or sharing actions on comments
- Sorting options for comments
- Default sort of comments & posts
- Option to hide the floating reply button on posts
- Changing color scheme of comment threads line
- Tap to collapse comments
All of these are on the list! Thanks so much for the feedback 😄
So far, it’s pretty awesome! Love the Beans icon I can use haha. Good job!
When I saw the most upvoted post, how could I not 😂
I’ve signed up. Tested it really quick - and it looks great.
Can’t get search to work - no input? And I sure would love filtering/sorting options for top posts within x-hours like on wefwef 👍
Edit: I also can’t see my comments.
All of these are coming in the next couple of days 😊
Cool :)
I really like the design. Can’t wait to see it with more features working!
Thank you! More stuff rolling out now like comment upvoting and replies 😊
ok no one cancel me but i think i like it better than memmy, and ive been stuck on memmy for weeks now
it reminds me of alien blue from years ago!! i’m really excited to dig in and start using it!!
edit: i did have to change the icon bc as a woman, a pink bean looks like a vaguely sexual app lol so i picked tutti frutti
Memmy is amazing, but the latest update was a step back with respect to bugs so I switched to Mlem for the last few days. The Memmy developers were releasing updates once a day though so that couldn’t sustain forever. I’m sure the app will bounce back.
That being said, the little bit of time I have used bean it’s been very impressive, I already seeing this be my go to Lemmy app. The app is polished and has a lot of features so far! Great work!
Thanks so much for checking out Bean! Hopefully you’ll stick around once it’s feature complete 😄
I’m definitely not going to cancel you 😇
I agree. I’m still on Memmy for now, but with a few more features Bean could take the lead for me. It just seems very clean.
cancelled :/
that’s fair lol
This is looking VERY promising!!! Really digging it so far.
Writing this from Bean, and from my short time with it I do like it. Bright future ahead for all the fediverse and Lemmy apps!
Thank you! I too am writing this from Bean ❤️
I’ll give it a good flick.
Damn I’m late for my own joke
