First, thank you More of you signed up, tried Ownfeed, and wrote to me yesterday than I expected.
Some of you hit a bug within minutes, told me, and came back after I fixed it. I don't take that for granted.

Here's the honest part: I tested every flow, many times, before launch.
Then real users arrived, and in the first hour something broke that had never broken in testing.
A few hours later, a second thing. Both fixed the same night.

What stings isn't the bug. It's that I felt ready, and the thing that broke was the plain part I had stopped looking at, not the hard part I worried about.

I'm Shun, the maker of Ownfeed.

We launched here today, and I want to use this thread to learn from you, not to pitch.

Most of our signups never connected their Instagram, and almost none of them told us why. Surveys got ignored. "Why did you stop?" got silence or "it was fine."

Yesterday a tester told me setup "felt smooth." On my side, I could see he never connected his account. So instead of an open question, I sent:

"Was it (a) no Instagram account to use, (b) not comfortable connecting a real account, (c) didn't feel worth it yet, or (d) ran out of time? Even one letter helps."

He answered within the hour: (b). He also admitted his "smooth" only covered the steps before the scary one.
