I want to use the "fluent" design system by Microsoft, It is in the same field of Microsoft's new "Loop" app -a notion clone-, therefore it may look very similar on first glance to the average consumer since it uses the same design system. Should I switch the design system (flutter) to something else since to avoid confusion and to differentiate? I intend to market this app meaning it will appear on those "Best ... lists" meaning people will mainly see screenshots of the app.
** PSA: Mainly a personal project, I do not intend to monetize it, my reasoning for wanting external growth isn't financially motivated **
I think you would have to provide a lot more information on what it is, what’s unique about it, what your goals for it are, who the target user is etc.
Like, maybe your ideal user doesn’t care whether it looks unique? Or maybe the fact that it looks familiar is exactly why they go with it?
Or perhaps making or modifying a design system is something you actually really want to learn about personally? Or you see that as the only reason why someone would choose your app?
Personally - I would try acquiring the first user/s by focusing as much as possible only on what it actually does, ie. productivity. Then I would try to base those kinds of decisions on what they actually tell you. And on what you see them doing with it.
