This is definitely very useful, and something i've been thinking of to build myself. A personal CRM. Issue is when I see something like this - where it will take me around half hour to figure out - while i can vibe code something in an hour which will do much more and personalize it for me, I hold back on trying it out.

> where it will take me around half hour to figure out

Would love feedback on what parts are confusing :)

I recall a post recently that suggested rather than a fixed contact interval ("message this friend every 2 weeks") it was better to use a Fibonacci spiral (2 weeks, 3 weeks, 5 weeks, etc). Perhaps you could implement that?

interesting idea, got a link to what you read?

I’ve been meaning to build a personal selfhostable version of this. I’ll vibecode it as simple webapp someday and OSS it, should be easy enough. I see the merit in this project as well but no way in hell i share this data with a third party

If get a chance to read the website / privacy policy you’ll find that I actually don’t have access to any data, you don’t need to sign up to begin using the app. The sales pitch is entirely privacy first :) so all the data stays on your device.

Hey it’s an amazing app. I was trying to make an app where user can send notifications to friends when they think about them. I think it would be a great additional feature to your app! Reach me if you want to talk about it

Interesting idea. DM me @ poppynudge

How do you know its AI? Who cares, sounds fine too me.

Well, if someone can't bother to write something, why should anyone bother to read it?

Probably because its not War and Peace. It's the hook for some app you're probably going top spend all of 2 minutes on deciding whether it may or may not be functionally useful, and that equation is going to be largely solved independent of the quality of that marketing copy.

That's awfully able-ist isn't it? How do you know that the author is capable of communicating fluently in english? What if it were the case the the author was so excited about sharing a project but didn't know how to properly explained it and so took the extra effort to learn how to get a piece of software to explain it for them? Would that then satisfy your requirement that the human behind the project has done enou…

since when the world only has english speaking people?

Good execution, but i kinda dont like the core concept of gamifying socialization. Its weird.

If i had to put my finger on soemthing id say the most uncomfortable part is bypassing the long term rewards of maintaining a healthy social life in favour of short term gamified rewards. I think alot of tech already does this and its rotting peoples brains. Id rather not go further down this road

I think this core probpem is better solved by having a sense of community, by being able to see the people in your life more pften and having third spaces to interact with them regularly

Obviously thats not something that can be solved with the resources available to a hobby project. And i might be too harsh saying this is braintrot, its obviously coming with good intentions. Idk. I feel like some problems arent jsut not solveable by more tech, but tech is causing them in the first palce

> Auto-correct and speech-to-text still carry that idea Why? You didn't spend real time consulting a dictionary or using penmanship, since writing is often slower than speaking. You didn't do your own memory management? Wow, guess you don't care about the details. Used a compiler? Wow dude, please spend the time to actually build the product the right way. These are all levels of abstraction, the idea is the idea. Th…

I'm with you. Keep fighting the good fight. Can't wait until people give up this lunacy. It's exactly the same "back in my day" bullshit that's always existed. What do you mean you typed this? If it isn't handwritten, I won't accept it. What do you mean you drove to work? Do you not have the dedication to walk? You can't be a good fit for this company if you're so lazy that you have to drive to work.

The difference is that the output of LLMs is so distinctive in style that those ideas are communicated like a shapeless gray goo. The way something is communicated is as important as the idea itself. The tool becomes the dominant voice.

Is there a way you can make custom time-intervals? One month seems too short for one of my friends, but 3 months is too long.
