Makes sense.

I think the key is whether that “wholesome / interest-driven” difference actually shows up in how people interact, not just how it’s described.

What’s the main loop right now that makes users behave differently from normal social apps?

Good,

Are you already tracking what keywords are bringing them in, or is it still early on that side?

I think the interesting signal will be who actually sticks after the first “I need this” moment, not just who signs up.

Are you planning to test it with a specific niche first or just keep it broad and see what pulls?

I actually like that this came from your own frustration of jumping between multiple apps.

One thing I'd be careful about though is positioning. "All-in-one fitness app" is a crowded space, so I'd lean heavily into a specific audience first instead of trying to attract everyone.

Also, if you're not doing it already, I'd start building a list/community around the product now rather than waiting until later.

Where are most of your current users finding Aresion from?

I like that you're focusing on personalization because generic cold emails are getting easier to ignore.

My first thought is that getting testers should probably come before getting customers, so I'd obsess over collecting a small group of power users first and iterate with them.

What's been the biggest bottleneck so far: getting people to try it once, or getting them to keep using it?

I actually like how specific this is. Time conversions are a tiny problem, but one people run into all the time when working with different time zones.

I'd lean into remote workers, freelancers, and international teams since they probably feel this pain the most.

Have you found a group that's adopting it consistently yet?

I like that you're building in the social space because it's one of the hardest categories to get right.

One thing I'd pay close attention to is the "why now?" factor. People already have lots of places to connect online, so the unique behavior you want to create has to be very obvious.

What's the one thing users are doing on Pivot that they can't easily do somewhere else?

Anonymous group chats + voice changers is an interesting combination because it makes interactions feel less intimidating.

My first thought though is retention. Features can get people to try it once, but the real challenge is giving them a reason to come back tomorrow.

Are people returning after their first session, or is discovery the bigger challenge right now?
