These are great questions:
1. You can use Millow (in "single-player" mode) without anyone ever seeing you've added them. You can set reminders for a friend, and log when you meet. This is all private, and won't ever be visible to anyone other than you.
The only feature in the app that currently changes if you've added someone is the "availability" feature. So if you add your availability, and you add someone as a friend, and they add you as a friend, and they see your availability, and then you remove them as a friend, they will cease to be able to see your availability. However, this experience is also identical to the act of deleting your account. So your friend may just think you deleted your account. But yes, your point is still valid, and we don't have a great answer for this. At the end of the day, we want you to only add friends that really matter, and if someone ceases to matter, there's really no easy way for our product to help with the difficult conversation you may have to have.
2. Fair enough! We designed the app for those that need help, so we're happy for you that you're doing this already :)
3. The research (which we mentioned in our learn more section) talks about dormant friends that you would want to reconnect with, but aren't actively in your life. I grew up in Pakistan, and many of my best friends still live there, but now that I'm in California, I don't get a chance to reconnect with them anywhere as often as I'd like. And I also don't know when they're free. Also, even for friends that are local, sometimes life just happens and a lot of time goes by before people meet up. If you don't have friends of this sort, that's great, but this is an issue that many people face, and they're the app's target audience.
