Three weeks in. Here's where things stand.
136 sign-ups. 105 members across all 16 types. 187 connections. 3,773 messages sent.
The headline number this week isn't the growth. It's that all 16 types are now represented on the app. That's the first real milestone, because the theory only works if the full map is there. It is.
The organic baseline is holding. The launch spike faded, as expected, but sign-ups haven't dropped to zero. People are still finding Socion through Reddit, Discord and Socionics Insight. A few have come back a second time to tell other people, which is the thing you hope for and can't really engineer.
The average rating is up to 4.7 out of 5. The messaging volume surprised me: 3,773 messages between 105 members is a lot of active conversation, not dormant connections sitting in a list.
On the product side, the last few weeks have been about infrastructure rather than flashy features: push notifications, reply threading, a network visualisation page, anonymous mode, and a verified badge for typed members. The foundations are solid now.
Also this week: a shop
Something separate launched this week: a shop at shop.socionicsinsight.com, starting with sixteen type mugs, one per type, each with a dictionary-definition design in its quadra's colour. It's a way to show your type without it looking like a personality quiz result from 2014.
Update, November 2026: the shop has since relaunched with a new range at the same address.
Next
Week four starts now. The question I'm watching: do the connections made in week one turn into ongoing conversations, or do they go quiet? Early data suggests the former, but it's still early.
If you haven't tried it: socion.app. Free, no algorithm, no ads. You pick the dynamic.
