I would say using this app to try and surprise/do nice things for your partner is, in fact, making an effort: going out of your way to think of nice things to do with them. People are all different. The idea of getting flowers for your partner, or leave cheesy notes for them, might come natural to some and not to others. Another comment pointed out how having ADHD makes it hard to remember to do the sort of stuff thi…

If spontaneity is overrated then why participate in a simulacrum of spontaneity? This app doesn't suggest that you do longer term things to support your partner and make their life easier. It proposes that you fake being in a honeymoon stage by eg leaving cute little notes.

Well, yes. And you know what ? Faking being in a honeymoon is enjoyable for both you and your partner. As you said, available time is limited, which is also true with your lifetime. Not doing something both you or your partner would enjoy because you feel like it’s not spontaneous is in fact wasting joyful moments.

I am having a hard time understanding how you could even ask for all this personal information with a straight face for an app like this. In fact why would any kind of account at all be required? Given the apparent simplicity of the app I don't see any other conclusion than this is a pure and shameless gimmick to collect this information from people. As far as I can tell this can be replaced by a plain text file of s…

Can you please make your app available in the UK for Android? I'm blocked from installing it from the Play Store.

Hi! Thank you for the comment, i'm currently awaiting google playstore. The app has been uploaded for review. Stay tuned ! :)

In the UK. Installed the app on Android but it seems to require a photo with no way of setting a photo.

Tapping the camera icon does nothing.

Pretty cool app, I like it! I have some random thoughts that I'll try to write down about it:

- In order to start using its core feature, that I would say is the "advice" to do special things for your partner, you have to sign up, then verify your email, then create your profile, and when you finally get to the "home" view you still have some banners eating screen real state from your main feature. That is too much friction! I think it would be best to just let people try it straight away and then lead them to sign up in order to unblock further usage/features. I think that the conversion funnel of the app can be improved. - Nice design, I like it, very modern towards what are we seeing this 2024 as "trendy". - You are using firebase on the backend, nice choice for a v1.0!

Hi, thank you so much for your comment. Based on you comment and everyone else's feedback i've decided using today creating a single button signup = a anonymous a guest user. Then later again ask people to fully create their account. Kind of like reddit does. The update should be out in a few days.
