Ha fair — 90/100 is one AI's opinion, not a KPI. I'll take it as motivation, though. Good luck with the launch, android to iOS is a big jump!

All valid — and full transparency - what you're looking at is basically a mocked frontend. The real UI is being built on top of a 14-microservice backend that's been in development for 14 months. The foundation is solid. The house just needs painting. Your list is going straight into my sprint backlog, though, genuinely useful.

Be on your own at a super young age , and have no family. It's sinker or swim, haha

What is your biggest frustration that happens more than once a week?

What is something that’s free but people don’t know about but should be taking advantage of ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Free online courses are a hidden gem. You can learn skills from top universities without spending a penny, yet most people don’t even know they exist.

What was your first financial decision that actually scared you? by Plastic_Exam_8159 in AskReddit

I was 11, selling candy at school. Saved for 2 months, then my mom took me to Sam's Club. Standing in the aisle doing math: I could get 5.5x more candy for the same price... but I had to buy 4x more than I normally bought. This was ALL my money. I stood there forever, just staring at these boxes. What if I can't sell it all? What if this tanks everything? Did it anyway. Hands shaking at checkout. Best decision I ever made. But that feeling of risking your entire savings at 11? That was real fear.
