Hey everyone 👋

Bean for Lemmy is now available on the App Store for everyone to download!

The app is free to use with a "Pro" plan that gives you access to some premium features like push notifications and multiple accounts, as well as a bunch of customisation options with more themes and app icons available.

Thank you to everyone who tested the app over the last month. I'm really happy with what I've made in a short period of time but… This is just the beginning and I have so much more planned including mod tools, kbin supported more!

I hope you'll check it out and I look forward to hearing your feedback ❤️

Please reconsider the lifetime price 🙏. I want to support your efforts but I don’t do subscriptions and $30/$50 is too high a price for an unproven system (lemmy) and developer, and an app that still has some large bugs/issues and lacks some (what I would consider “essential”) functionality. This sentiment has been said by others in other communities when discussing Bean as well, so I don’t think I’m off base.

I said this elsewhere, but at $10 I have a feeling you’d get a lot more sales due to the price being in the impulse buy range, and low enough you’ll get FOMOers that are willing to throw down $10 to see what happens.

$30 for the early bird price means you can never go lower than $30 for future sales (Black Friday or what have you). I think that is a mistake, personally, and you may disagree.

I appreciate the feedback but I’m happy with the pricing.

As always, please feel free to write a post with a bug report or feature request and I’ll do my best to fix it or implement it 😊

Bummer but I understand. Appreciate the reply. When does the early bird pricing expire? I might go for it anyway, you seem like a good dude and are very respectful and responsive so I want to support.

Thank you, I really appreciate it!

The plan is the end of the month so 31st August would be the last day
