The lack of a web app is a deal breaker for me.
Could you elaborate the particular reasons as to why you'd prefer a web app? (Would a desktop app be relevant as well?)
If "relationships matter" and you need an app to remind you of that, I'd posit you have a larger problem than any app can solve. Consider putting down the device and connecting with your peeps in the real world every once in a while.

I read it as Elim, as in Elim Garak, a famous tailor from a relatively well-known sci-fi show. That isn't really any better in terms of connotations, though.
Everyone's favourite station tailor has no part in this (sadly) ;-) I have to ask my cofounder about this, as she came up with the name. I remember it meaning something like "an oasis in the desert" which is quite fitting to the whole loneliness problem.
I've been using Monica [1] for the personal CRM and it does what it is supposed to do. It's a basic web app and lacks the sophistication moderns apps have, but it hasn't died for 5 years at least. Just FYI. [1] https://www.monicahq.com/
Edit: Oh, I got it. This submission links to the English version, but the "the next elim." link at the top links to a not specifically English URL, and going from there to any other page gets me to the German version. Huh.

I kinda have the opposite problem. I have 50-100 people in my phone, and I would only care to use the app for maybe 20ish... Here's the thing... I absolutely don't want to give it cart-blanche access to my contacts (perhaps irrational; I'm being honest). As a super-nerd (as are 94% of us here), I completely understand from a technical perspective why it's that way... But, it just feels creepy and I don't trust it (ag…
This is good feedback. If anything, we should all be more paranoid about whom we share our data with. And the contacts in your phone book are especially sensitive. Let me take a note and see what we can do about that. I don't see why we shouldn't allow for users to add their contacts manually.
This isnt an issue worth fixing, just wanted to mention it in case its directly apparent what isnt correctly initialized. I (and i think most others) prefer this over the site not working without javascript. Requiring to unblock a random site is a lot higher hurdle for accessibility then just scrolling up. In all honesty a non issue.
Opening the page the first time it starts at the bottom and i need to scroll up. Opening it a second time it works fine (starts at the top). Behavior replicated with new private window.

Some implementation details: The whole app is built in Flutter. It was a first time experience for us. Everything went pretty fast and smooth and the Flutter documentation is amazing! There are tons of resources out there that helped us solving our problems. We just needed to be a bit careful about the plugins. Some were pretty outdated or even unmaintained. But we made sure we encapsulated every plugin so we can eas…
That's a relief, when I saw this in the OP I got pretty worried:

A company specifically wanting to know that sort of thing sets off some alarm bells!
