+The main reason for me developing the app was that I wanted to get familiar with the platform (iOS & Objective-C), and I must admit that I’m surprised how many downloads the app has received even though the app is quite tight tailored to fit my needs – obviously I’m not the only one having those needs. :-)
+<br />
+As of now the app has been downloaded in (most frequent on top):
+<ul>
+	<li>Australia</li>
+	<li>USA</li>
+	<li>Sweden</li>

+It is REALLY fun to see that iBean still is spreading and gets downloaded around the globe. I myself use iBean only on my iPhone but I did decide to target both iPhone/iPod and iPad, and by looking at the statistics it is clearly equally popular on both platforms.

+<div class="container">
+A simple smartphone/tablet app which enables the user to keep track of some of the most important variables (or at least the most easy ones to control) for extracting espresso. Focus for the app, design-wise, has been to keep it functional and easy - following the <abbr title="Keep It Simple Stupid">KISS</abbr> approach.
+
+<h4>iBean allows the user to;</h4>
+<ul>
+<li>Create bean recipes/blends each holding information like;
+<ul>
+<li>Extraction time</li>
+<li>Coffee bean(s) - a recipe can contain several beans each having its own grind setting and amount</li>
+<li>Notes</li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+<li>Experimenting with extraction time using a dedicated timer functionality</li>
+<li>Keep track of number of extractions (for fun or for triggering so called Thresholds)</li>
+<li>Create custom <em>Thresholds</em> that are triggered and notifies user when the number of extractions hits (or exceeds) the threshold's value - easy way to remember maintenence tasks!
+<ul>
+<li>Example thresholds:
+<ul>
+<li>Threshold named "Empty drip tray" having a threshold-value of X ((re)enabled every Xth extraction - recurring mode)</li>
+<li>Change waterfilter every 300th extraction</li>
+<li>Buy more beans (recurring every 150 extractions)</li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<br /><br />
+The app is constructed from the requirements I've been extracting from my years of espresso extraction at home, so if You find that it lacks a feature that you would like to have then feel free to contact me through the <a href="http://eddiex.se/contact">contact section</a>.
+<br />
+<strong>In short:</strong>&nbsp;<em>An app that enables you to keep track of your extractions and lets you focus on the harder variables such as pressure, temperature etc.</em>

+# iBean #
+
+-- TODO: Add screenshots 
+
+## Legacy notes ##
+
+The application was created out of curiosity. I wanted to test the iOS platform and also Objective-C which both were new to me at the time. I also remember like 60% into the project there was a new pool-based memory management introduced (or pushed towards really), and thus the iBean.old folder in the repo.
+
+I used the app myself for many years and so did my wife as well, so in retrospective it was an interesting and good journey to take.
+
+After some years I decided to take the application down since I no longer had any interest in paying the Appstore fee, but the application had spread quite a bit and doing so all by its own.
+
+**Stats before taking it down (most frequent downloads at top):**

+- USA
