Now that http://wearecocoon.co.uk is officially out of business (subpages are still working) did anybody try to get a refund in the App Store?

Edit

I just opened a fraud case with Apple support: http://reportaproblem.apple.com/

As star gate fan, I am sure it is a alien time loop thingy . Thanks for bringing this up!

[–] a887dcd7a@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It is a little bit laggy, but also my second choice

[–] a887dcd7a@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago (4 children)

Idk. The devs run a business and still advertise with bean. If it is really abandoned instead of just low prioritized or idling they would start a coverup...in the end reputation sells.

The β€œlikely” in the heading needs to be emphasized as we cannot say with certainty what will happen…

I would also not recommend anybody to subscribe or renew until there was a sign of life.

Well, the App basically works and there have been updates. Also β€” come time β€” there will be further updates in the future.

What would be the basis for apple to grant a refund?

[–] a887dcd7a@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm 100Β % with you on that. Health comes above all else.

But his mate, who is also running the business, could just leave a message of absence or so. With the pre-course this would honestly be enough - at least for me.

Hey Steve,

its been a while since your last occurrence, when you and your buddy re-assured your commitment and explained some time of absence: fine with the most of us. But since then: silence.

Some of your early customers already moved on and wrote off their invest.

Could you please step the game up a little and start managing your community and maybe our expectations? For example you could share a rough roadmap, just so we know, that you are still on it and your community issues were heard? Or take half an hour once a week, biweekly or monthly to communicate your progress and what you are up to?

Best wishes a early stage customer that already resorts to other clients

Ah... I still have faith. I mean communication could have been slightly better cough, cough , but after all it is a two man gig which is more prone to hard times. I anticipated kind of a growing process, when buying. Christian's Apollo for reddit was the playbook example how it could be. On the other hand dev of the mastodon woolly App went dark on all outlets... that leaves me wondering if something bad happened to him.

I see it that way. If the (indie) product is nice, I would like to support the dev behind it. Period.

Here in Germany entrepreneurs have to calculate their manpower with at least 80-90 € per hour when offering contracts, just to have a sustainable business. I understand the scaling effects but 35 € is quite modest with that calculation in mind (even though regular workers have to put in some working hours to afford the 35 € :). Im curios if this offer is sustainable after all.

Idk... he informed the community about last week, I suppose even If he coded like a manic monkey straight through there are still the the app store App release gods that need to have mercy... so no 🫒

Is this some sort of premature bullying, after dev already opened up on current affairs and the near future?

[–] a887dcd7a@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Dev and his colleague already reached out, mentioning the absence.

Lets give them the benefit of a doubt, that dev had to deal with different matters first and will be able to commit more.

[Bug] Flair tagging (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by a887dcd7a@lemmy.world to c/bean@lemmy.world
 

Hi,

I just saw that tags containing a slash are not recognized as flair tag ( https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/2118160 )

[does not/work]

This seems to break the parser, but I cannot imagine how.

Hi folks,

did you uncheck, that your AppStore builds should be available on macOS?

Back in the early days, I installed an test flight build (1.0.1) on my mac. Now I wanted to check back and see, if there is any of improvements in regards to macOS.

I can't find bean in the macOS AppStore (with the iOS/iPadOS filter) 😞, so I suppose you deactivated it on purpose?

Hi,

I simulated to buy the pro version in TestFlight. When I installed the AppStore version my pro status was not reset properly.

Edit: This is how I found out, not part if the problem:

I recognized this, when I installed the App on the iPad and tried to restore the subscription: there was none.

macOS build (lemmy.world)

Hi my super productive overlords (no joke, u all got my utmost respect),

thanks for the latest updates of memmy. The new sidebar sits well with memmy, and you can see, that the UI gets more polished.

I had the iOS version installed on my mac from the getgo.. I was just curious what catalyst does to the App. The recent updates made it even more useable β€” by accident I suppose.

Do you have the long-term goal of making a apple multiplatform App targeting iOS/iPadOS/macOS ?

Also the App did not update via AppStore. Had to uninstall and reinstall it?

I mean otherwise there are upcoming options like leomard I could settle with, but I really love the way memmy looks, feels and behaves.

Best wishes

 

Hi, I did not fall for it, yet, but the "edit" (community info button) and the links "leave mod team" are pretty close to each other.

Best wishes, a9987dcd7a
