Solo developer seeks brutally honest feedback on a couples app idea
A developer is designing a private app for couples and wants honest feedback before spending months building it. The goal isn't to replace WhatsApp but to create a separate, personal space just for two people.
The planned features include: Love Ping, a way to silently let a partner know you're thinking of them when you can't answer a call (because you're with family, at work, or in class) without drawing ; couple wallpapers created from both partners' photos in styles like anime, cinematic, minimal, or dreamy, applied instantly; a daily mood check-in; shared tracking of special dates like anniversaries, birthdays, and first dates; a shared planning tool for making plans together; a couple wishlist; a shared photo album for memories; and a private chat built only for couples. The developer specifically asks whether the Love Ping feature would be genuinely useful or if people would just default to WhatsApp instead.
