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 is awesome. Very stable for such an early release.

Is email required? I am having issues logging in with my existing account, that only has username and password. Said could not find username or email.

It says I need a code when I open the app to use it. I’m not finding a code anywhere

Click on the TestFlight link after you install TestFlight and it should automatically do it

Pretty cool so far, replying from the app 🙂

Testing it now, seems to work pretty well. Aside from search, which you said you’re working on, links don’t seem to work? It would also be nice to have somewhere to see replies to your comments/post. It would also be nice to see what instance each community comes from. Thanks for your hard work!

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?

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Fixed now. Sorry about that :(

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Wonderful. Where can I donate?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

This is awesome thank you so much

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

This is a pretty good start. I like it a lot.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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

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!

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Have you checked the TestFlight app for an update?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Thank you, I just noticed that this is about a different app. I thought it was an update to mlem.
