What We Have Been Working On

Quick start presets, follow-up sets, notifications, and making things easier to use.

Lykewise is a small project built by one person. It is actively being developed and things change regularly based on how people are actually using it. Here is what has been happening.

The biggest usability change is quick start presets. When you go to create a set, you no longer have to browse through dozens of lists to figure out what to pick. Instead, you choose your situation -- partner, play partner, friend, stranger at an event, exploring new territory, poly connection, nesting, or online match -- and it loads the relevant question lists for you. You can add or remove questions after that, but it gets you to a good starting point immediately.

For people who already know what they want, there is a skip option right at the top that takes you straight to browsing and building from scratch. The browse view itself has been reorganised with collapsible lists and tag filters so you are not scrolling through hundreds of questions. You can filter by category -- kink, sex, romance, connection, trust, lifestyle, or fun -- and expand only the lists you are interested in.

Follow-up sets are new. After you view results with someone, there is a Go Deeper option that creates a second set from the questions you did not cover the first time. This is useful when you started with a broad set and want to get more specific, or when you want to explore a different angle with the same person.

Notifications are working now. You get a push notification when someone adds you to a set, when someone finishes answering, and when results are released. You can turn these on from your dashboard. No spam -- just the moments when something actually happens.

There is also a time estimate when you are building a set. It tells you roughly how long it will take the other person to answer based on the number of questions. The sweet spot is 10 to 30 questions -- enough depth to be useful without wearing someone out. The app will gently nudge you if you go over 40.

This is not a finished product with a roadmap and a marketing team. It is a tool that is getting better as it gets used. If something feels off or you wish it worked differently, that feedback matters.
