PI.FYI - Share Your Taste

I really disliked the app's layout, it's poorly designed, difficult to understand, and not user-friendly at all. I was also automatically following around 80 people (?), and the constant spam emails were so annoying too. Finally, trying to delete my account was nearly impossible. I looked everywhere, checked on Google, and when I tried to log in on the web, it didn't even recognize my password or email, it was a whole ordeal. I finally found a post from 2025 where someone was asking how to delete their profile (poor person still has their account up, it seems they never figured it out). When I followed the link in the reply comment, the ‘Delete account' button was hidden in the tiniest neon blue text at the very bottom. Insane.

The app is slow and clunky at times. Freezing, stuttering, and jumbling peoples posts. But honestly, for something trying to emulate that old school internet blogpost style it works in its favor. Everything feels so small and interconnected. When I get 3 responses my eyes light up because it feels like a LOT. The feed moves slow enough that I can really sit down and consume whats in front of me. And the nature of “recommendations” and “asks” instead of basic posts encourages participation. I’ve been having a blast.

I sincerely love this app and the community on it, but with each update it seems to just get slower and slower. Things take too long to load after pressing buttons, so I end up avoiding certain features like lists or bookmarks. I frequently have to tap things multiple times for them to occur. I understand this app is small and does not have the same resources as others to deploy fixes and improvements, but I strongly suggest the creators prioritize functionality and smoothness over any other modifications right now as it is becoming off-putting even as someone who cares about the app. I have invited users who unfortunately did not stick around because the app was clunky and annoying to use.
