Re:Ask HN: What do you use as your personal CRM? on Sunday April 14, 2019 @08:51AM (#19659114)
I always wanted a personal CRM that reminded me when it was a good time to reach out to someone, and where I could read about past conversations.

At that time there weren’t a lot of these apps/services, so I created a simple app that did just that. Keep notes of conversations per day per contact, set a (recurring) reminder, organize with tags and have birthdays reminders and suggestions.

Since I use iOS it’s currently for iOS only. And most focus went to iPhone. The iPad version is a bit rough.

I’ll be monitoring this thread for most requested features, and learn more about what people look for in such an app/service. And of course reach out to me of you’d like to talk more!

Feel free to give it a try if you’re on iOS. Social Contact Journal: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/social-contact-journal/id118...

Re:Americans are changing their relationship with Facebook on Monday September 10, 2018 @07:31AM (#17950981)
No surprise. A 250MB app that needs updates every week, can’t show your friends most recent updates on a chronological timeline, doesn’t let you chat with tour friends, analyzes everything within the app including maybe facial emotions, and keeps sending useless notifications to make you open the app; no wonder people are fed up and delete it.
Re:The Best Alternative for Every Facebook Feature on Saturday March 24, 2018 @01:49AM (#16665084)
I’ve created a simple app for myself that lets me keep track of all my conversations, and it encourages me to keep in touch with all my friends, family, (ex)colleagues.

If you like friendly contact reminders or like to recall what you talked about with friends whom you don’t meet every so often, give it a try. You can create your own timeline with conversations, photos, and other important things. As well as general background information. It can send you reminders to talk, and birthday reminders.

The data is in your control, stays on your phone, is not synced. An internet connection is not required.

OT. Can I contact you to review my portfolio?
There are some mobile applications that do exactly the same as this service: Ntwrk, CJournalLite, Super Social.
