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 ❤️

    Any plans to add a safari extension like Apollo used to have and Ivory currently has? I’m all for buying in on good software, but that’s one of the requirements for me to buy in.

    It looks great!

    can Bean work with kbin accounts? I know the two are federated, just wondering since that’s my home instance 😛

      There is also the Artemis app for Kbin. I use Artemis for Kbin and Bean for Lemmy. They’re both incredible apps.

        Are you on Artemis.camp? Because I’m trying to log in with my Kbin.social account and it doesn’t let me

          I am. It’s due to the Kbin API not being ready. So the workaround is using the .camp for now

    Before I buy Pro, is there a timeline as to when image posts will mark as read correctly when the image is opened from the thumbnail? (Links seem to mark as read correctly when clicking the thumbnail)

    Thanks!

    How long will the lifetime discounted option be available for? I will go for that once I hit payday at the end of the week.

    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

        Here’s a few off the top of my head. I’ll start keeping a list as I use the app more.

        • No in-line gif or video support
        • Cannot tap to collapse a post
        • Can’t edit comments from your profile screen
        • Can’t tap a comment in your profile to go to that comment in the thread
        • No gesture to swipe from right to left to return to the previous post (ie you’re viewing the All lost, open a post/thread, read comments, swipe left to right to go back to All list, scroll down a bit, then decide to return to the previous thread - in Apollo, you could wipe right to left to return to the last thread)
        • No hide read posts button (you have to do it through a menu)
        • Not enough compact comment option(s) - ie it would be nice to have the upvote/downvote count shown at the top of the comment to the right of the username
        • No default sorting order by list type (ie all, local, subscribed lists)
        • Collapsing a comment thread from the middle of thread does not automatically bring you to the next top level comment
        • Not essential, but doesn’t support animated community logos
