My uncle died suddenly this year. He was unbelievably caring - and not just to family - but to everyone he ever met. His funeral was jam packed with everyone from homeless people to executives of multi-billion dollar companies. I always thought that his ability to always have you, and whatever you had last talked about with him, on his mind at any moment was some kind of supernatural gift. I was surprised to find out…

Whenever someone gets a new app idea in our office my one colleague always asks "Can it be solved with a spreadsheet or an instant messenger?". Well I guess this comment answers that question.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It says open-source in the first half of the title.

Open source won't keep your data confidential by itself. Are they going to port it to run offline, or exclusively sync via encrypted blobs? It's not the technology, it's the philosophy.

My point was that you have the code so you can host it yourself.

This has been the case for many years.

Looks like about 2 years. https://techcrunch.com/2015/04/28/facebook-api-shut-down/

Oh, wow, walled garden indeed

I saw this the other day and it looks like something I need! But I have been periodically checking it since to see if a crucial (for me) feature is added. Which is: Do you have plans to add the ability to put "real" people as SOs or children? I recently found your roadmap on Github and didn't see it there. In any case this is super cool, thanks for building it and sharing it :)

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?

If this bothers you just host it yourself, that's why it's open source

That's a good solution for someone like me, who can roll my own, but not someone like my parents who have no idea how to do that. That does not bode well for privacy. Your suggestion is half-assed.
