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! :)

  • Questions about "The Count of Tuscany"

    Question: I've been thinking about "The Count of Tuscany." One theory takes it all literally: the Count's brother (and possibly the Count?) are, in fact, cannibals. They appear to have inadvertently become so when they drank the soldier-flavored wine. But I'm not fully clear on why they let the narrator go. Perhaps they only drink the wine, but not actually eat people?

    Another read on the story is that the Count tells is explaining to the narrator that the whole story - the cannibalism for sure, but maybe even the soldiers and the wine, the chapel and the saint - is a fable. It's been repeated so often that he's asking the narrator to tell the world the truth, that the Count and his brother are not cannibals.

    What's your read on what happens in this song?

    Praised be to Steve228uk!
  • Can you please include a link to a tip jar or something? I'm happy to throw a few bucks your way for the insane speed of development of this app, which is already my primary Lemmy app!

  • Roll Call: UMBowl 2023

    Curious how many Umphrey's fans are also Lemmy users. Anyone else going to UMBowl in Boston this year?
