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 ❤️

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!

[-] steve228uk@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I'll get that fixed for 1.0.2 so within a couple of days.

[-] invisibit@infosec.pub 2 points 2 years ago

Wonderful, thank you for the quick response! Love the block icons by the way!

[-] steve228uk@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Thank you! They were fun to make 😄

Here's a bigger look at some of them

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!

[-] steve228uk@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

A share extension? That should already be there, you might just need to turn it on.

[-] fleece@pawb.social 4 points 2 years ago

If you used Apollo or Ivory you might remember they both have a Safari extension where they take links to instances and open them in the relevant app. Apollo would just open reddit links but Ivory takes a link to any Mastodon instance and opens it in the app. It would be awesome to have the same happen with lemmy instances. I think Memmy is planning on something like that

[-] steve228uk@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Oh, gotcha! Yeah, Ivory has “Open in Ivory”. Not a difficult thing to add, just was t something I thought about!

I’ll add it to the list of things to do 😊

[-] TwinTusks@outpost.zeuslink.net 4 points 2 years ago

This actually looks really polished

[-] steve228uk@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Thank you 😊

[-] acetuk@feddit.uk 4 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] steve228uk@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It’ll be for at least a week! I really appreciate the support 😊

[-] acetuk@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

Don’t take it off until I can afford to pay for it! 😀

Will Test Flight be ending?

[-] steve228uk@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

The link for new TestFlight testers is already closed and I'll be clearing the list at the end of this week. Testing for v1.1 will be opened up again as a new list soon.

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

[-] steve228uk@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

At the moment Kbin doesn’t have an API in the stable release. When it does I plan to add support to Bean.

In the meantime you’ll need a Lemmy account and sub to Kbin Magazines from there.

Hopefully not much longer!

Congrats

[-] a887dcd7a@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Hi, it does not appear on „bean“ or „lemmy“ search terms. Can someone provide a direct link?

Awesome!

[-] timespace@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

[-] steve228uk@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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 😊

Where is your preferred location for raising bugs?

I have one where push notifications aren't enabling correctly.
