Do you have some best practices for building trust into a website. For example, some design decisions that can create a better environment for users to add their personal data, financial information, etc? I have seen a few that make sense (transparency is probably the most powerful I have seen).

So I've been on the search for a co-founder for what seems like the longest time now. I know Y-combinators stance is "partner up with someone you met at college or already have a long standing relationship with". While that would be the safest/ideal route, unfortunately, this isn't really an option for some people and so I've been blocked on that front for some time. That said, I've just dry launched tertle.io to try to address that problem. The intent is to the match people up based on things that each founder cares about, minimising the risk that you inherit with meeting someone new and putting an end to endless time-consuming profile scrolling/lengthy events etc. For those that are currently on the hunt for a co-founder or perhaps just have a min or two to give any feedback at all - would much appreciate! :) Dropping link here: www.tertle.io Cheers and have a great day.

Hey everyone! I'm working on a project and am looking for some feedback from other founders. Our goal is to put users in control over their data without sacrificing the wonderful things that data can do for a tech platform. We're building an API for platforms to read and write data to an individual's data hub. We're also building an app for individuals to manage their data and connections. By decoupling user data from tech platforms, individuals can bring their data with them to your platform. As more platforms contribute data to individual's data hubs, the more data you can instantly access about your users (with permission). Then it's up to you what you do with it - but if you abuse it, your users may disable the connection. As a developer or founder of a platform that collects any amount of user data, is this something that would be valuable?
