Bean has likely been abandoned by dev - sh.itjust.works

I’m going to use my mod powers that I abandoned didn’t ask for back to warn potential subscribers to steer clear of Bean for now at the very least. As many of us have purchased lifetime subscriptions with promised updates not being delivered and communication from the dev team all but nonexistent, I think it’s safe to assume that Bean has been abandoned. Please cancel any existing recurring subscriptions if you have them and do not subscribe if you haven’t. There are many other good Lemmy clients out there. I personally have switched to Voyager, but people also seem to like Thunder and Mlem. I apologize for my part in all this, just know that I was duped as well, and received no compensation from the devs.

Support Idea for App Store go-live - sh.itjust.works

With the go-live in the App Store fast approaching, with it comes the frenzy of support questions that inevitably come alongside the launch of a new app or platform. I’ve been doing IT support for 20 years, and one of the hardest parts of my job is launch support (in fact, I’m just winding down the launch of a major platform at work). Unfortunately, users are not always going to take into account that /u/[email protected] [/u/[email protected]] is a one man dev team, and this community is going to blow up with questions and bug reports. That being said, I really believe in Bean and I definitely don’t want to see Steve suffer burnout trying to keep things moving ahead. I’d like to volunteer to help triage support requests and bug reports so everything doesn’t have to be completely on the shoulders of a dev who should really be enjoying the fruits of his labor and a job well done. I’d encourage others to volunteer as well, if Steve will have us. A small support team can make a difference.
