Pitched this rough idea to my wife the other week and she showed me some relationship timeline (shared wall between two users) in Facebook so I discarded the idea. Looks like I was onto something after all.
Pair (YC W12) is a Path for the Two of Us

#62The shared TODO list is great, a shared calendar would be good. An option to sync with 3rd party online calendar is even better.
I never managed to get my wife to regularly check our shared Google calendar, too much apps to check for her. A simple app which handles all the couple tasks in one place is a great solution.

#63while I am busy doing another startup, here is I can offer from my personal experience of using such platforms:
- first up, you need to give users assurance that they own the data. Allow them to export data anytime and that too in a beautiful way. I would hate to loose such memoirs shared with my loved one, just because you failed to raise another round of funding. (Data persistency can well be the primary reason, why people still uses emails; It will always be there.)
- how about a personlize gifts on their anniversaries from the service ? you have good amount of data to personalize the gifts. seriously, surprize me here!
- I have been using tumblr for last year on same usecase. following stats will help you: march - we get separated by distance. april - 111 posts, may - 74 posts, june - 39 posts, july - 36 posts, august - 11 posts, september - 33 posts, october - 60 posts, november - 23 posts, december - 1 post.
Post distribution: [70% pictures - 10% links - 15% text - 10% videos/music].
where pictures, are of one other, old memories, places we visit, things we spot. where links, are interesting find of the day. where text, are short letters, quotes. but no chatters.
- Now, I would need an information overview of my content pretty much like tumblr or more, with posting abilities of Path or more.
- Tumblr isn't built for game dynamics here. She is posting 80% of content and i 'heart' 50% of her content as a feedback to her. A game dynamics which involves more participation from not-so active member of relationship? we are NOT talking about games or chatters(messaging or whatsapp), but subtle or even funny push notifications if she has posted and i have not yet viewed to begin with.
- an instapaper functionality, so that we can share things from anywhere on Internet, by just sending an email to the account.
- avoid becoming a messaging app, for love sake ;)
all the best!

How about a service that you could enter all these things in the morning and it would send them throughout the day? Like a Buffer for "unit of thinking of you". I'm only half joking
Funny enough, someone requested an API to set up a script to message their girlfriend. lol.
I'm actually doing that with the Instagram API to send her pictures of puppies. This may be more common than you think!

#67"you’ll get an impressive range of options for how to stay in touch"
Except for actually staying in touch, unfortunately :-)

#68Call me old school but I'd rather find someone who lives in the same city than try to maintain a relationship through an app. If you absolutely need to stay in touch with someone every minute of everyday it's probably better to just move. The solution to working too much to be in touch with the partner you really care about is not an app, it's telling your boss to shove the job up his ass. That said, I doubt there wi…
>The solution to working too much to be in touch with the partner you really care about is not an app, it's telling your boss to shove the job up his ass. Agreed, but then there are those of us who formed solid, committed relationships before we had to or have to move and want to keep them alive. Even being on the other side of the same state from your fiancee is painful, man!
Being on the same side of the same state can be painful, considering many US states are bigger than many European countries.

Well, sometimes a two-sigma smarter/hotter/funner partner is an hour or two away. It's usually worth it, if it works out, you end up moving in together somewhere in the middle. If they're farther, then someone does a job hunt. If you're in software, you've got a decently liquid market for that.

This reminds me of a Dharma and Greg episode[1][2]. Scheduled spontaneity. [1]: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0559091/ [2]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rHyUeD5UrA
Scheduled spontaneity is a great term! I love it :)
You can use http://www.ohdontforget.com (this is not my startup) for scheduled spontaneity - it is like Buffer and it's free (in the US at least)!
