Can the card view be the default view when the app first starts? So much of the content is visual and the compact view doesn’t do that any favors. Even in the card view some images are clipped more than I’d like. Tapping each post as you scroll by certainly is taxing.
It should remember your selection, is it not doing that?
It does! I just meant imo that should be the default and one should have to choose the compact experience.

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.
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 🙈
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.
Yeah, I’ll look at adding that.

Some links have way too long of a preview. Is there a way to cut it off? This is on the feed.

I was able to make an image post, but it definitely wasn’t as smooth as usual. I had to reload the app to see my post.

Hey Steve. I’m guessing the “Surf” theme is a placeholder? It doesn’t seem to do anything.

Running into a bug where images don’t load in the feed (seemingly random) but load fine when post is opened. This is one example of a post that showed a blank image icon until clicked

Full height image preview seems to have stopped working in latest build. I’m seeing clipped images even with the option toggled on. Worked fine in previous build. This post is one example:
I'm having problems with the communities tab in the most recent release. Entries are sometimes getting duplicated or showing out of order, and I'm experiencing stuttering and slow loading. The app is slow to respond if I try to navigate away from the communities tab- sometimes taking several clicks or seconds to respond- while responsiveness in other tabs is normal. The battery usage has also been noticeably higher than before. I'm on an iPhone 11 pro, 16.5.1.
- The duplication seemed to continue the longer I stayed in the tab and would cause jumping to other areas without any input on my part.
- Duplicate entries are clickable links that lead to the correct communities.
- The issue seems worse the more communities I'm subscribed to. I'll attach screenshots from the account with the most subscriptions, but other accounts show only one or two duplicates and my account with the fewest subscriptions didn't have any issues. I unsubscribed from a few on this account and am no longer seeing duplicate entries but am still experiencing the slow loading/high battery usage.
- Unrelated but certain subscriptions are missing from the tab, notably !kbinMeta@kbin.social. This community shows up under my communities in other apps I'm testing, but not in Bean; maybe because the display name starts with a / and the other apps are sorting by the actual link?
That’s really weird!! I’ve not experienced this myself. I know it’s a pain but would you mind deleting the app and reinstalling?
Sure, I tried deleting and reinstalling and was not able to reproduce the duplication issue, though the slow loading/page jumping around/lack of responsiveness is still present.
Out of curiosity I tried subscribing to a new community and the bug reappeared, though not as bad this time:
I tried reinstalling again and the bug still persisted. I then unsubscribed from a community bringing my subscription count to 200 and that seems to have resolved the duplicate entries for now.
I’ll subscribe to a tonne of communities on my test account and see if I can replicate this.
