A related problem: who have I not messaged in a while? Scan my messages and tell me who is due for a "Hey, how are you doing?" message? Again, simple in principle, hard to make usable especially given that I use different apps to talk to different people.

#17Earlier quoted context omitted.
it's a cool idea. a) i'd use a handwritten font and semi-randomized angles to make it look more real. b) PLEASE don't send me yet another thing i have to sterilize before bringing in my house.
