The idea is very nice and the app seems good enough for what it is, but having to also create an account on my partner's phone and connecting with them defeats the whole purpose for me. I want to surprise them, not let them know that I installed an app, which they have to create an account for and connect to me, to surprise them.

I guess that the idea is to connect the personality test results between partners to find better suggestions, but please consider dropping that suggestion. With only 5 suggestions, this app is sadly getting deleted from my phone very soon.

Yeah doesn’t that defeat the unpredictability goal?

Hi the two of you, Thanks for commenting! Yes that is the general idea with the connection, but based on feedback i have removed the partner-limits. In addition i am also created a guest login (which works for most features), and many more changes based on the feedback from you folks in hacker news. No profile picture requirement anymore etc. etc. The update should be out very soon, I just gotta test everything works.

Why need a login/account at all? What core functionality actually requires a server to be involved, from your point of view?

What we've seen again and again is apparently well-intended founders who say something like this.

Fast-forward a few years and for whatever reasons, the company transitions ownership, and the founder and original team are out of the decision-making loop. After which the already-gathered data gets increasingly exploited and the gathering of data from users expands, contrary to promises and intents of the founder.

By being stricter in your original implementation and application architecture as can be observed externally and from the point of view of the client, you make it harder to for silently break user trust without a way for users to detect it.
