Super happy with this release. It took us 18 months of working on it "side project style". Almost every night and weekends actually. It's a full rewrite of the current project, with its own advantages and disadvantages of a rewrite. I hope people who used it before and didn't like it, will give it another try this time. I hope that current users who love Monica, will love this new version even more.

#13Definitely interesting, albeit a bit too green to be a beta version imho (I can't select a contact when adding a relationship, added two pets by accident because there was no feedback... e.g).
However, it looks really promising and more feature rich than the current version of Monica.
I do have a question thought. Will this version support WebDav/Cal? Syncing contacts to my mobile phone is the main reason why I use monica on a daily base.

I just recommended this to a friend who uses a conventional CRM (Salesforce I think) as a personal CRM -- a PRM? (The "C" is no longer relevant)
Question about:
> the feature I’m most proud of is the ability to customize almost everything in Chandler: from the layout, to the modules you can enable, to the data you can enter about your life.
Was this a customer-driven product decision? Based purely on past experience, this seems like the kind of thing that PMs sometimes get very excited about, but then ends up adding a lot of complexity for both developers and users... so I am curious to hear how you thought about the tradeoff :)

Congratulations on the Beta and thank you for creating Monica.
It states it(Chandler) does not have Import from existing Monica yet. Just wanted to get clarity on: will it get the Import option in future?

#18Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.

#19Why 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.
A bit less. It just seems like a service that is "easy" to host, as in does not need much maintenance or ressources, thus allowing you to host tens of instances on a cheap VPS.
But maybe I'm overlooking something. Hence me asking.

#20I’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”.
https://www.monicahq.com/features like that perhaps?
The login page makes it clear Chandler is different from Monica so presumably Monica's feature page doesn't accurately describe Chandler.
