Dunno if this was intended as a joke, but I find the whole presentation of the site to be hilarious. Well done! As others have said, if you were able to find if Hinge, Bumble, Tinder, Grindr, etc... have open APIs that you could connect to your app? Same goes for things like Eventbrite or Meetup. "I met so-and-so through (dating app) on (date/time) and we hit it off well. We then met up again via (event app) and cont…

As much as I love this idea, part of me read this and thought "Great, one more reason for women who aren't interested in me to feign even more interest, because big event xyz is coming up and it's 'revealed' to them I can afford it so it's 'revealed' to me they want to go."

Wow, managing one's dating life with a crm app has got to be the most distopian thing I've seen in a while.

I probably need to point out that I'm not dissing the app. If it succeeds, the creators are obviously filling a need in the market, but confirmation of such a need would indicate dating as I define it is horribly broken

This reminds me of the main character in Along Came Polly who puts his new girlfriend and ex-wife into a Risk Assessment tool to decide who he should stay with :D. Naturally, it doesn’t go well once the girlfriend discovers it!

Sorry I cringed. Hoping this is a joke.

Don't you have a pipeline with girls you're going to cold-call, and a dating life manager that breathes down your neck when you haven't taken at least 10 girls out this month?

Don't forget paid lead generation (SeekingArrangement)

I was thinking about something similar, but less cringy. More like: hey you haven't messaged your friend in 6 months, maybe you should ask them how they are doing. A priority queue but to help keep friendships alive.

There have been several iterations of this sort of idea — a personal CRM — and the main issue I have is they should automatically scan my emails, texts and chats to figure out my friends and suggest that I reach out. Also, want it to be 100% local and privacy first.

Something like monica may interest you to scratch the personal CRM itch.
