Show HN: Millow – Stay connected with your inner circle

Few thoughts:

1. It sets a frontier between your “true” friends and others. What if I don’t like someone anymore but don’t want to offend by removing them from my Millow? What if someone wants to add me but I don’t think of them as close enough to be on mine?

2. I personally do this on Line and WhatsApp. So I really don’t feel like adding yet another social app

3. The reminder part is weird, if they really are close friends, I don’t need a reminder to call them. So this feels more a “remember to call grandma”.

Is there still a space for a platform / app like this?

Genuine question, maybe I'm living in my own bubble where privacy is (at last) becoming more a necessity.

This is something I've been coming to miss since turning my back on facebook-the-platform. Upvoting for the idea, but it's a shame it's for iOS only.

Does anyone have recommendations for something open source on Android?

I don't know about anyone else, but my real friends are those I actually stay in touch with. I have their phone number, email address, whatever.

The point is, I don't need another social network for that. Social networks always grow to include everyone you don't care about.

Just waiting for that "oh and also there is this org-mode extension that does this really well" cpmment to be posted...
