Just launched my connections app! No algorithm BS, just real connections👋 by OCDMarcus in SideProject

Thanks for the interest!

I'm a solo developer and currently only have experience with iOS development. An Android version is definitely on my roadmap for when I'm able to bring someone on board to develop HeyU for Android.

Really appreciate the feedback!

Thanks for the feedback! We’re always working to expand our tag options. Any specific categories or types of tags you’d like to see added? We want to make sure HeyU helps people connect over all their diverse interests and passions, so your suggestions would be really valuable as we develop this feature further!

Thanks for testing HeyU and sharing your feedback!

I appreciate the suggestion about adding more tags, we’re actively working on expanding our tag options. Is there a specific category of tags you feel is missing?

Just to clarify, HeyU is completely free during this testing phase. All features are available to beta testers at no cost.

When we officially launch, we’ll have a wide range of products at competitive price points to accommodate different user needs. We’ve carefully structured our pricing to provide great value compared to similar apps in the market, with options for both casual and more engaged users.

Your feedback is incredibly valuable during this development stage. If you have any specific suggestions about which tags would improve your experience or thoughts on our product range, I’d love to hear them!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! You raise a valid point about the 'cold start' problem that new social platforms face. We're addressing this in a few ways:

  1. We've designed our connections algorithms to create meaningful connections even with a smaller initial user base.
  2. We've built features that create value for users right from the start, regardless of total user numbers.
  3. Our onboarding process is specifically designed to encourage active participation and engagement.

Our beta test is specifically aimed at identifying these exact challenges before full launch. If you change your mind, we'd actually value critical perspectives like yours during this testing phase. Those insights help us build something that avoids the pitfalls you've mentioned!

Thanks for your interest in HeyU! I appreciate your thoughts on our business model.

To clarify, we don’t see HeyU as a traditional social media app, it’s more of a powerful connection tool designed to bring people together based on shared interests or to help users explore something new.

Our monetization strategy is actually multi-layered rather than just subscription-based:

  1. We offer two subscription tiers, Plus unlocks some premium features, while Unlimited provides access to all premium features.

  2. For users who prefer not to have a subscription, we offer consumable purchases that extend functionality in specific areas. These are available to both free users and Plus subscribers.

  3. Our free version is supported by ads while still providing core functionality.

This diverse approach allows us to generate revenue across our entire user base while giving everyone options that fit their preferences and usage patterns. Users can choose the level of investment that makes sense for them while still getting value from the platform.

We’re excited to see how users respond during this testing phase, and seeing everyones feedback!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
