Fun website, although it tries a bit too much to be... relatable? This leaves it being oddly generic, without purpose or reason. Be more expressive about who this website targets, currently it feels like a "Spotify Wrapped" for a service I never signed up for or interacted with.
Drive a story and tell me how you as the author feel, I care for your story and motivation to build this website - weave it into this work. Not to be overly rude, but it feels like you wanted another shiny thing in your portfolio instead of helping lonely people on Valentine's day.
Tell me 10 great things I could be doing with my time instead of being lonely and miserable. This website entertained me for 2 minutes, but what should I do with the other 23 hours and 58 minutes to escape the crushing loneliness?
I am sorry for writing this in a slightly excessive way, but as a user those might be my thoughts. What can I take with me from this experience essentially?
Also, I wouldn't ask for location without a good reason - as others have already mentioned it's better to put it behind Cloudflare as an example and use the country headers for basic regionalization.
- SouravInsights 2y agoHey, appreciate the detailed feedback! But honestly, this was just a silly little page I put together in a few hours for fun. Wasn't trying to solve any problems - just wanted to make some people laugh with dumb jokes and memes on Valentine's Day And you're right - I was trying so hard to be universally relatable but it might have become generic. Cool ideas about what it could be! But you know how sometimes you just want to make something goofy without a deeper meaning? That's all this was. And yeah fair point about the location stuff - definitely could've handled that better with Cloudflare!
- flessner 2y agoNo hard feelings, my mind just automatically thinks about what could be - what's the greatest version of X? Unironically, that might be my lesson I take away from this - that I should maybe just try more, bumble about a bit, take things less serious... Honestly, thank you for this website and great reaction to this feedback. More power to you!
