Thanks Nerali! Much appreciated.
Heya, just released 1.1.0 where you can add an extra checkin from the flower by clicking on it.
Thank you for the feedback and bug report!!! It's going to be fixed in an update 1.1.0 (waiting for apple to approve it)!
There's a waitlist for Android on the website :)

Thank you @paulhebert! Please feel free to send me any feedback or ideas after trying it out
> yep
in the app you can configure custom time intervals just like in google calendar :)
Interesting idea. DM me @ poppynudge
> I see the merit in this project as well but no way in hell i share this data with a third party
If get a chance to read the website / privacy policy you’ll find that I actually don’t have access to any data, you don’t need to sign up to begin using the app. The sales pitch is entirely privacy first :) so all the data stays on your device.
interesting idea, got a link to what you read?
> where it will take me around half hour to figure out
Would love feedback on what parts are confusing :)
Good point. Honestly, I might consider open sourcing it. I'd like to leave it in a stable place and go from there. Can you also reach out with your contact @
[email protected] for the future :)
Cheers for the honest feedback. Would love to chat to hear some of your UI/UX input. If you have some time please reach out on
[email protected].
Thank you for giving the app a try and especially for the feedback :)
I'll consider add an extra checkin from the flower too.
Interesting idea for the checkin date. I personally like it but I'll let it sit for a while more. In the mean time for a given contact you can scroll down to the "important reminders" part and set a date for the event. Maybe that was hidden?
interesting. My main USP was that I didn't want folks to even sign in or me to have any database where to stored your private data.
> Also I'd want it to connect to my messaging apps so I don't have to tell it when I connected with someone.
That's a valid feature request. For the first approach I didn't want poppy to access any external apps (if that's even possible with some API? / I wonder how that works in different regions.)
It's currently supported on Mac so technically if you have that you can try it on the desktop only.
LET’S GO! Appreciate the fact that you gave this app a go.
What features would you even expect in the paid version?
Also generally if you think of anything please email me for app improvements / suggestions
thank you for taking the time to comment, definitely got me hyped haha. I’m so happy you see the value I find in the app. That’s definitely an interesting idea. I initially wanted to avoid the app from accessing any external data (tbd if that’s even possible) for the MVP, but as the app grows I’ll see if the check-ins are a pain point for people.
Appreciate the feedback! Good advice which I appreciate on my first app. Since I have a full time job I don’t have the time right now to support it as much as I’d love to but I’ll make it work!

Please give it a good and let me know which parts don’t work for you :)
Very interesting idea! One of the features of the app is the no signup no data associated to you which has to change if I want to allow peeking into your friends garden to see “anonymous views” of their garden.
Haha thanks, that’s what the MVP is for. Although I appreciate your feedback. Even if this helps 100 other people, that’s all the validation I need.
Thanks mate!
I really appreciate your words! It’s been months in the marking and I’m so happy to see people also find it helpful like me!
Please let me know if you think of any cool features you’d like to see :)
This is definitely a valid concern. Since I mostly built the app for myself I wanted to have 2 easy features.
1. The ability to snooze someone who I don’t feel like reaching out for a certain period of time
2. Having an easy mute global notifications option in the app and configurable per person
I was also considering the idea of grouping contacts to maybe say “hey out of these people you should reach out to someone next month”. Basically to keep you social/ in touch with someone.
I’m very open to feedback if you think folks might get tired of those too?
Yep, that was actually a placeholder (eventually with real people, and now soon with 500 downloads!) I didn’t comment out properly hence what someone else pointed out with the html commenting. Mistakes happen and I agree I should do a better job to proof read :)
Funnily enough, while I definitely prompted but finding other website designs I liked and color schemes. I specifically wanted the hover effects because I love quirky animations. On the garden in the app try holding on a flower/ seed or click on a butterfly and enjoy the Easter egg ;)
Thank you for the feedback and trying the app!
I’ll be working on fixing this :). Unfortunately I didn’t bother tested with the SE, only the 11 onwards, lesson learned.
