Here POV of the man and engineer:

* Design looks amazing!

* Technically it's not an app. It's a web page. It gives me a an insecurity feeling that my data will be lost on a refresh.

POV of the guy who is building "privacy-first" app: Feels like you fell in love with your solution. Ask your wife to talk to her friends if they care about privacy? Watch a first time user uses your app.

IMHO privacy is a real concern for a fringe minority of the users. You and me are among those. What you just did - is verified that Mr. Market does not care.

When I asked my wife about privacy, she was like "what???".

Couple books that helped shape my view on this: "Fall in love with a problem, not a solution" and "Mom's Test".

100% agree. It’s less "product-market fit" and more "husband-wife fit." Wasn’t trying to build a startup, just trying to fix something that felt broken for someone I love. And since it’s free, Faye doesn't need mass adoption. It just needs to exist for that one person who goes, "hold on...my health data ended up where?"

Or for when the next data breach hits and people start searching for local-only options.

Oh, and about the app vs web page comment, I get you. However, it's a progressive web app and can be installed. Works offline too. If you check Faye, you'll notice an install button at the top right.
