GuideYou - First Week Update

Hey everybody,

First of all, thank you for all the support and feedback I’ve received over the past week - it’s been incredibly motivating.

Let’s start with some numbers:

• 107 registered users

• 85 families created

• 290+ guides created

This makes this launch my best one yet 🚀

What’s new this week?

#1 – Improved onboarding experience
This came up quite often. While GuideYou’s core flow is simple (Sign Up → Create Guides → Share with your family), I realize the surrounding system and unfamiliar UI can feel overwhelming - especially for less technical family members.

To address this, I’ve created a dedicated onboarding video. Every new user now sees it once (don’t worry, it won’t keep popping up!) to help them understand how to navigate the app.

Watch it here:

#2 – Family Notes
A simple but powerful feature - families now have a shared notepad where they can store important information.

Notes are securely handled:

• Server-side encrypted

• Each family has its own encryption key

• Each key is additionally encrypted with a server key

#3 – UI improvements
These aren’t groundbreaking changes, but they make the experience smoother and more intuitive overall.

#4 – Translation fixes + new language (Italian)
Some users reported missing translations across the app - that’s now been fixed.

Also, GuideYou now supports Italian 🇮🇹

#5 – Extended trial
The trial period has been extended to 14 days.

Users who signed up earlier also received an additional 7 days - thank you for being early supporters!

What’s next?

Here’s what I’ll be focusing on now:

1) More content
Expanding the library with more ready-to-use guides and assets.

2) Growth & reach
Experimenting with new ways to reach more users and get GuideYou in front of the right people.

3) Feedback
Continuing to prioritize user feedback - this remains the most important part of building GuideYou.

Thanks again to everyone who’s tried the app, shared feedback, or supported the project in any way!
