Thank you and that's amazing! It's great that you're really embracing the attitude of thinking about this other person and trying to empathize.


Thank you! I appreciate the praise.

If you have any feedback or suggestions, feel free to share~


I hear you. I've turned off all the analytics I can with firebase, but if you don't trust Firebase/Google, I'm happy to recommend avoiding this app.

Thank you!


I know, right? It's definitely a quirky vibe


If you're looking for a more gamey-version of this concept, check out Kind Words. I'm a big fan of it!


Thanks for sharing! That's super cool and very similar in concept.


It’s actually online since the flash days, I try to contribute from time to time.


I'll look into iPad-compatibility and see if there's some low-lift stuff I could do. To be transparent, I would probaaaably invest in a webapp before a fully-blown iPad variant.

I hear your frustration about the limitations of what you can share. I stand pretty firmly by it for safety reasons, but I don't totally rule out the potential for a way to connect further.

Thanks for the feedback about the skip button — I agree that it's confusing. I'll work to address it soon!

Happy to take any other feedback or suggestions you might have~


Thanks for the feedback. I'm so sorry for the frustration caused. I'll address it!

If you're curious where that comes from, the app is built with Flutter, which tries to mimic native behavior. Text editing is something that's not quite there yet, unfortunately, so I'll have to manually make fixes.


I figured it might be something like that - I believe I’ve noticed it in other apps too. But the small frustration is unfortunate when the rest of the design is so careful and does such a good job building a positive vibe.

Good luck!


I also noticed that the app makes my phone run hot. For whatever reason I think it’s chewing through battery like crazy.
