I’ve had “personal CRM” in my ideas file since 2003. In fact, I failed to convince a buddy to apply to the very first YC batch with it.

Love the concept. But I’d love the landing page at beta.monicahq.com to describe what Monica (or in this case Chandler) actually does. A short video, some screenshots, anything… right now it’s not clear to me why I’d click “signup”.

Why does it cost 9 USD per month? (Unless you self host)

How much do you think it should cost? More or less per month? Or maybe annual? Multi currency support? It is a genuine question.

They should just do what everyone else does and finance themselves by selling your data to the highest bidder! There are lots of advertisers who would pay a fair amount to know this much about your social graph and what you think of them.

You say that as if they won't anyway.

I think it's just because that's their "app" login page, where you already know what it does and you already have an account. When I go to login to AWS or Datadog or whatever, the login page doesn't tell me what it does, either.

Like you, though, I've also had "personal CRM" as a potential project for a very long time. Monica is a great step in that direction, and I've happily used it for many years, but it's not all the way there, and I still hope to one day have the resources and time to actually build something truly great.

About that beta page, Man! what the hell is with the light gray text over pale cream color background.
