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 ❤️

To everyone that enjoys the app, and especially those pleased enough to subscribe or purchase Lifetime Pro, don’t forget to rate and review the app in the App Store. Let’s help Steve build a user base!

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

Thank you!! Yes, App Store reviews are a massive help ❤️

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 (1 children)

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

[–] fleece@pawb.social 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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 😊

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 (2 children)

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! 😀

This actually looks really polished

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

Thank you 😊

[–] invisibit@infosec.pub 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

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!

Downloaded, and finally got to pay you some money! Thanks for all of your hard work on this app.

Will Test Flight be ending?

[–] steve228uk@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

Finally my go to Lemmy app is in the AppStore. Your app made the transition from reddit over to Lemmy much much easier for me. Thank you very much! Can’t wait what the future is brining… Will Pro carry over to testflight?

[–] steve228uk@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thank you! I'm glad I could help with the switch 😄

All purchases in TestFlight are fake and aren't connected to those made on the App Store.

[–] robmexx@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, I know. I’ll get Pro in the official release and wonder if I’ll keep the Pro status if I support the betas in the TestFlight.

[–] steve228uk@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I believe so! I'll do some more testing and give people an update on TestFlight going forward.

[–] robmexx@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thanks a lot. Keep up the great work and say hi to Jazzy from me.
