So how do you plan to make money? Do you want to move to a subscription based model, do you show in app ads, do you sell data? I cannot find a reference for such information on your website besides maybe your privacy policy.
Show HN: A “CRM” for personal relationships

Re: Show HN: A “CRM” for personal relationships
#12I like this! One request: if you ever go for pay, please don’t get greedy. I don’t mind paying for things, but take Dex for example. I like it, but I’m not paying $145-$240 per year for something I can reimplement badly with Reminders. I just want something to say “hey, don’t forget to say hi to your friend every once in a while” without paying an arm and a leg.
For contrast, 6 years ago I paid $80 for Things 3 across all my devices, and it’s still being developed and updated. I’d have a hell of a time paying twice that per year for a vastly simpler app.

#13Pretty app! I created something related, but more utilitarian. It's called CommuniqAI and may be found at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.mtc.ga.

#14I wanted something similar so I made myself a list in the Reminders app. I recommend doing it, it’s made keeping up with friends who moved to another country easier.

Re: Show HN: A “CRM” for personal relationships
#17Congrats on the launch! What features are on your roadmap to make it more CRM than personalized greeting cards? There's also https://www.monicahq.com/ , an open source personal CRM that doesn't allow you to directly engage with people like elim allows.
A shortlist from the top of my mind:
* Individualised settings per contact
* Who is this person to you?
* How often do you want to engage with this contact?
* What kind of ambitions do you have with this contact?
* More refined suggestions based on the above
* Training module to improve your social skills
* Knowledge base
* Regular blogs/videos/podcasts about the loneliness topic
* Seasonal events and designs

#18Congrats on the launch! I love the focus on local data only. I've tried several different CRMs to help remind me to keep track of friends, family, and acquaintances. The problem I have is I have thousands of contacts from tons of different sources and from over the years. From Google, old phones, LinkedIn, Apple, and people in emails who aren't contacts. I would love an app that could consolidate all my contacts into…
You sound like a great person to do a user interview with :)
Would you be willing to answer some questions in a private chat or call?
Re: Show HN: A “CRM” for personal relationships
#19My use case is keeping tracking of business contacts, but not as a salesperson, which is who business CRMs target. I have not seen many CRMs address this application, and I don't know if you care to. Here are some features I'd like: * Make it easy to keep track of what I've been discussing with a person, and the last time we communicated. Set reminders for following up. * Allow me to enrich information -- people, eve…
Thanks a lot for the input! I've noted it down (and already saw some overlap with what we have in the pipeline) :)
Re: Show HN: A “CRM” for personal relationships
#20I've been looking for automated help with the kinds of problems this app claims to solve for some time. I've done the usual HackerNews thing of finding imperfect solutions (currently a series of overlapping periodic tasks in todoist) and considering making my own service. I understand this is very early, but right now this feature set feels like an anti-product. The idea that I would get "daily reminders" of every re…
The only thing I can say right now is: you are absolutely correct.
This is something we need to address asap (and will!)
