Day 5 — "Get paid, even if you don't qualify" (designing the honest version of a survey platform)
Spent today in Figma on the core flow: landing page, account
creation, login, and a "How It Works" page.
The principle I kept coming back to: most survey platforms screen you
out after 5 minutes of questions and give you nothing. That's the
exact thing that made me want to build this in the first place.
So Step 3 of the flow is literally: "Get paid, even if you don't
qualify. Screened out? You still earn a small amount for your time."
Still zero app code — but I'd rather bake fairness into the design
now than bolt it on later as a feature.
Curious from this community: for anyone who's built a two-sided
marketplace — did you find users cared more about the core
transaction (survey payout) or about "soft" trust signals like this
(fair treatment even on failure)?
