Guidance on app I built

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working hard on an app, but as a solo developer currently operating in survival mode, I don't have the budget to run ads or a massive social circle to rely on for a launch. I'm turning to this community hoping to get some genuine, constructive feedback.

What the app does: I've built an app where people connect emotionally, creating a genuine bond irrespective of age, culture. Address loneliness in a unique way and also a platform to spread kindness

I am trying to figure out the best way to improve this, launch it properly, and eventually monetize it so I can keep building.

If you have a few minutes, I would be incredibly grateful if you could test it out.

Is the user experience intuitive?

Did you run into any major bugs?

Would you actually use this (and how would you expect it to be monetized)? Here is the link: https://mydoriapp.netlify.app/

Thank you so much in advance to anyone who takes the time to check it out. It really means the world to me right now!

Happy to give feedback — and since you asked for constructive specifics, I ran a quick health check on mydoriapp.netlify.app alongside trying the app:

  1. The concept (emotional connection across age/culture) means you'll hold sensitive personal conversations — but the site ships no Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, or Permissions-Policy. On Netlify it's one _headers file in your publish directory:
/*
  Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'
  X-Frame-Options: DENY
  X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
  Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin
  Permissions-Policy: camera=(), microphone=(), geolocation=()
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  1. There's no <h1> on the landing page, so Google has to guess what the page is about. One line — "Dori — find someone who understands how you feel" — helps both SEO and first-time visitors.

On launch-with-no-budget: this community plus a genuinely useful free tier beat ads at your stage. Happy to run a full free scan of the whole site if you want the complete picture — just ask.
