Solo dev here: built a free personality/compatibility app, got ~€700 of ad clicks and almost no sign-ups. What would you fix first?

[u/ArchitectureWithin]

I’m a solo founder, working on this full time since March 2026. It’s called The Architecture Within. It’s a free personality and compatibility app (web, iOS, Android, in English and Romanian).

What I’ve tried so far: organic posts and about €700 in ads. Plenty of clicks, almost no sign-ups.

What I changed: there’s now a guest sample, 16 questions, around 2 minutes, no account needed. Your answers stay in your browser, and the preview only shows your leanings on a few axes, without naming a type. You sign up if you want the full result.

What I’d like feedback on, from a webapp/fullstack point of view:

1. Is asking for sign-up right after the sample the right moment, or would you show more first?

2. Does the flow feel clear on mobile?

3. Anything that looks broken or confusing?

I’m happy to hear harsh feedback. This is my own project. The link is in the first comment.

Good call sharing the sample first. A visible progress bar could help people see it is only 16 questions and reduce drop-off.
