This might be good, in the balance, for some people, but an important component is lost... There are things that past partners have done that were especially meaningful because they came from the heart -- because they thought of it, and wanted to. And I'd never say what those things were, because it wouldn't be as special if a future partner did one of those other things because they'd been given intel that I'd like…

If my partner cared enough about me to ensure they used tools that helped them express it... I'd be flattered.
Have you used the app? Perhaps the ideas and reminders are along the lines of "put their fav songs in a playlist for your next car journey together"
That's actually a good one. Ima do that.

#114I can just see it, “Did you buy me these flowers I was it that stupid app?”
If your SO would be annoyed at your romantic gesture because you got the idea from an app you might have other problems in that relationship. Generally, I find women appreciate the gesture, even if the idea isn't entirely original. People just like that you think about them.
Double thoughtful.

This comment made my day, I've been working for two years, day and night, and this is the most accurate representation of how I vision the world with Love Fuel. Thank you!
Your vision of the world with your app is that people don't use it because of its account requirements?
I will keep following the direction/mood of the comments and react based a whole view, so far around +80 people have downloaded, with 4-5 people talked negatively about account requirements.

#116All I am really saying is: consider why you are adding the complexity inherent in forcing user accounts and such. Just because everyone else does it, is not enough reason.

I really really like the idea. Enough to have immediately downloaded the app.
My 2 cents: The entire UX needs to be analyzed with fresh eyes. My email confirmation went to spam and i almost forgot I downloaded the app. But why is there an email confirmation? Why must i make an account? Why must i upload a picture?!? Why must I tell you my age? Why must I invite a partner to seemingly get any use out of this?
What is your goal with this app? If you want to gain users, focus on making getting started as seamless and quick as possible. Iron out the UI elements like the clumsy rectangle warning modals, focus on making it really intuitive to use. Figure out how to make it really easy to get me setting up ideas. At this stage it is a privilege for you to have any of my time and attention, and you need to iterate your UI and offering based on customer feedback and usage metrics.

What "other problems in that relationship" do you think they might have? Doing little surprises for someone, texting them to wish them a good day, etc, is a form of signalling. People like it because they know that you are thinking about them randomly, and that you care how they're doing. If you're simply using an app reminder to do stuff in order to grind relationship points, it has a completely different meaning.
Two or three times a year, I schedule a dozen emails to my wife. Just little missives that say something sweet that I appreciate about her. I spread them out over the next few months, so she gets little reminders from me that say I love you. When I’m staring down a long, busy day and she looks run down, I schedule an email a few hours later to say “Hope your day is going well, you’re awesome and I’m grateful to have…

I think the comment above has been edited, me and my wife did not see the last sentence before now. It's very surprising to me that the Hacker News is so against having an account? Most of the internet requires one nowadays. I will keep following the direction/mood of the comments and react based a whole view, so far around +80 people have downloaded, with 4-5 people talked negatively about account requirements.

By this logic most of the internet is full of ads so you should go ahead and add those.
By looking at your site i don’t see why an account is even necessary and that’s probably why people are rightfully complaining about it.

#120Congrats on putting this out there in the world! Quick landing page feedback: Could you update it so that the first two screen captures are not the same content? And then pick a different second example that isn't also about leaving a note? More variation in the landing page examples would give me a better intro. Is it possible to just call them "researchers at xyz institute" and link to their lab rather than "Scandi…
But mentioning Scandinavian seems savvy. If they hadn't said they were Scandinavian, I would've assumed the startup was totally full of poo, because many of the signs thus far look like stereotypical US techbro sociopathy. If I had that reaction as a US techbro myself, then presumably some Europeans they might be speaking to (as prospective investors, hires, or users) would also have that reaction.
