    Thanks so much for the honest feedback! That’s super helpful—we hadn’t considered how the glare and text overlap could affect first impressions. We’ll rethink the first screen

    Thank you for the support! And yes—great point bringing up Vivino. It really sets a strong example of where we could go with BeanBook. Lots to learn from that model!

    Hah, thanks for the idea! Over the past year of developing, we’ve been constantly surprised by what AI can do—and how much it’s accelerated our workflow. Hiring an AI Android dev is definitely a direction we’ll look into more seriously :D

    Thanks for your feedback! I’m home roasting too—using an entry-level FreshRoast SR800, which has been a ton of fun to learn on. I still buy from great roasters as well, since it’s a great way to rhetorically access to different processing m
