Much love


Definitely that's how I think about it too. I use my weekly check ins to revise or remove goals all the time. We're going for kindergarten teacher vibes over drill sergeant.

Also we live in NYC and are acutely familiar with [0] LOL


Sign in with apple has an option to obfuscate the data being shared with the devs, so we get this random relay like [email protected]. We ask for name and email again in case


Asking for email after sign-in with Apple is against their TOS. At some point when you release an update they'll notice and require you to change this. (It happened to me ~6mo after we launched!)


Y'all are right, we're removing this now


But as icloud user that’s my #1 reason to use apple signin.

Why isn’t that information enough?


The point of enabling that option is that users want you to use the relay so they don't have to give you their real email address. If you're just trying to send an email, why isn't the relay acceptable?


Then you've missed the point of Apple Sign In


Not just yet but we built on React Native so it could be soon!


Thanks for the heads up - it's definitely our intention to demonstrate the potential value before asking for payment. We try to make the app as accessible as possible at $5 for the first month. We're offering a personalized onboarding call with a coach to everyone who onboards which is why we paywall upfront.


Thanks for the answer! It does make sense. With a few caveats, however. From my experience, this is a way to go if you:

- Identified your market fit as users who appreciate and accept calls (not the case for many. GenZ, for example, does not fit)

- These calls are the main motto for the app (but in this case, I do not understand why you hide all the other features from potential users like me. I do not need personal calls, but I could change my mind after a few trial weeks with proper motivation)

Anyway, do not get me wrong. These are just my two cents. Otherwise, good luck with the project!

[Edit]: formatting


Maybe state the cost earlier in the flow. Feels crappy to spend time giving you data about me and then get hit with the paywall, and no option to see what Demigod is even about.
