Not that Monica's not a good name, obvious throwback to a certain character on TV from the late 90's. (or maybe I'm watching too much TV and experiencing hammer-nail syndrome...)

Sign up with facebook is not working for me. Perhaps because I have two factor on. Also, consider adding an import feature from gmail, vCard, etc Finally, why include male/female binary as the only required field besides name. Seems a little odd
Damn it, I broke it. I'll fix it today, or remove it entirely, I still don't know about it. I like the idea of being able to quickly log in, but it's yet another feature to maintain, so...
I have mainly python experience with python-social-auth, but I see PHP has a few pretty good social auth libraries, to name one, I came across HybridAuth[1].

Weird programming analogy that works for me: it went from being a library to being a framework. For your life. As in, Facebook used to expect you to have to come and poll it. There was information there about the current state of things, and that information was replaced when people updated their status et al. You had to look, and look often, if you wanted to keep up. It was addictive, in both the good and bad senses…
enlighten me...
Case in point, 1) offer to import my contacts from my phone, email, FB, linkedin, etc. I'm not typing that sh*t in.
2) Pull call logs from my phone, I'm not manually entering that either. Are you crazy?
3) Birthdays from FB
4) activities from other apps. Like movie together from bookmyshow (a popular app where I live), etc
Couldn't help myself. I'm sorry.
Is anyone else getting a dystopian vibe from the idea of "managing" friends and family? I can definitely see this service being useful, but that branding makes me feel very uncomfortable.

This product is dangerous to privacy. It's easy to imagine how this data could be exploited if Monica is sold to Facebook, Google, etc. How are you working to guarantee my data is protected from any manner use outside my own?
From the README on Github:
"We provide a hosted version of this application on https://monicahq.com.
If you prefer to, you can simply clone the repository and set it up yourself on any hosting provider, for free. I'm just asking that you don't try to make money out of it yourself."
So to guarantee the privacy of your data, set it up on your own server (maybe even locally hosted if you're that paranoid) and you're set.

Congrats, this looks really nice, the feedback you're getting here is a good bit of proof that you're on to something people like. My first reaction to the "CRM to manage friends..." was, what? Why do I need a business tool for my personal life. I wonder if there is a better terminology than CRM. You bump up against the social network on one end, and a person tool on the other. I wrote an executive summary for my bus…
