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.
Why require a login/account at all? What core functionality actually depends on a server to be involved, from your point of view?
