Back from my first snowboarding trip feeling refreshed.
Fixed onboarding friction as soon as I got back. First users gave solid feedback.

Ready for what this year has to offer.

Day 20: 12 couples downloaded and testing.

Mostly family and friends for now. Found onboarding issues I need to fix before running ads.

Going 🏂, shipping updates on the mountain.

Day 18: Reflecting on the past few weeks.
Thought juggling day job, gym, building, agency work, and social life would burn me out.
Turns out the opposite. Balancing everything makes me more motivated than when I was just grinding on one thing.

@moonfarm_dev I hope so too. It sucks cause the app is approved i just cant distribute it in EU until I get my trader status validated. Eagerly waiting.

Day 17: Still waiting on Apple approval.

Studying TikTok strategy for launch - what hooks work for relationship apps.

Learning a lot about what content performs.

@JorgeMenaDev Agreed!

Day 16: First users requested a feature.

Ability to like/react directly from the widget.

Adding it to the v1.1 list.
Taking it easy today.

Day 15: Got my first user who isn’t my wife.

Friend’s been using Reasons Why with his partner for 2 days. Feels nice that someone else finds it valuable.

Still waiting on trader verification. Warming up socials in the meantime.
