Bean 1.0.6 Release Notes
  • Hey @steve228uk - congrats! I somehow missed that Bean made the jump to the App Store. I just sent you a message, but then I realized there's no messaging in Bean, so you may not see it.

    I'm looking forward to messaging!

  • Pro tip: in general, never refer to a group of people by an adjective: eg, the females, the gays, the blacks, etc. That doesn't mean it's always socially wrong, but there's usually a better way.

    Bean Pro Pricing
  • Following up on my comment from yesterday*

    $14.99 for a year "feels" a lot better than $17.99. I like that a lot.

    $29.99 for early adopters feels like a great motivator and should get you a nice chunk of raving fans and ambassadors!

    Path to 1.0 and App Store
  • I've been on the TestFlight for a bit and I'm a for-sure day one subscriber. I was an Apollo Ultra ifetime'r - Pro since 2017, and Ultra since 2019.

    Although I know I'm going to get some shit for this, I think the pricing is a bit high for early adopters. To be clear, I'm going to do it anyway, but Lemmy is still unproven as the next big platform - there's still Kbin, Tildes, Lobsters, and more. I think I recall Apollo lifetime was $24.99, a platform that had a hundred million users. I don't know if I can sell my friends on $17.99 for a year, or $50 lifetime, just yet.

    My thought would be to cut that for a month or two - early-bird the price to $1.99/mo, $12 for a year, or $29.99 lifetime. Build up a user base. Then once it's got that install base, move to the prices advertised, as a proven app.

    And just to prove this isn't inspired by me being cheap, check my comment history, I've been trying to give /u/steve228uk money for awhile now! :)

    Sound Off: How many 10+ year redditors have left the site?
  • I'm an almost 17 year Redditor, same username as here. I was in so early that I actually have emails that I sent to Alexis Ohannion and Steven Huffman asking questions about how their Postgres setup worked -- and they both replied! But I've moved on. I haven't used Reddit since June 30, 2023, the day Apollo died.
