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.

Toebean Icon Pack for Bean
Bean is absolutely amazing. I can't wait until there's a way for me to give you money for this app.
Please keep adding icons! It's so much fun to change it up over time!

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!

Ooh running that shiny new Android 10! I wonder if it's easily updatable and/or if there are images available.

What Lemmy Client(s) Do You Use?

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! :)

Opeth is so good. I know a few people who love their music but struggle with the vocals, but damn are they talented.

You'd be surprised. Plenty of great in ear monitors that are sub $100 and use balanced 4.4mm jacks.

This is really promising! Obviously missing some major features, but damn is it sexy. When we can comment and vote on comments, this might already be good enough to be my main Lemmy browser app. Great start!

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!
