I'm still working on my passion project: https://nextflick.tv

I'm in the process of refining the filters determining which movies will be included. And at the same time I am trying to acquire news users, which is going quite well. Slow and steady increase, I am currently sitting at around 100 visitors per day.

Assuming this works, I’d assume I’d want to have for decades right?

So what’s the plan to ensure this service does not degrade over the next few decades?

Our design philosophy is to sync as much as we can back to the OS, so that it can be picked up by other apps.

Let me take a note though and look into a manual export solution!

Does anyone receiving these feel like it's personal enough to be meaningful? I can't help but think that even with some cutesy text, if it wasn't exactly the tone of the person who sent it or it didn't contain some kind of inside joke, it would just come across as a cookie-cutter afterthought. It seems like the Bitmoji of greeting cards, all splash and no depth.

Is the goal to "exit" with a sale to Hallmark or something?

You are absolutely right in that we need to strike the right balance between convenience and value. We discuss this a lot internally and will certainly need a couple iterations before we find the sweet spot.

My number one “personal CRM” challenge isn’t getting reminders to call people, it’s remembering things people told me. I’ve taken recently to using the Notes field in Contacts, but something more structured would really be nice.

Thank you for your suggestion! I've taken note of it and we will discuss :)

Congrats on the launch!

Something I would love to see is an integration with all my messaging apps where I stay in touch with people.

Beeper.com offers such functionality (can also be self hosted, which is something I did) and it’s amazing if you can see when you last messaged people, what the content was, etc.

Beeper itself is purely built for messaging, so an app like yours would be the perfect companion to give you all the CRM functionality and could then use beeper to send the messages out and log the interactions.

The disadvantage if you don’t self-host is though, that you need to trust beeper with your messenger connections.

Keep up, this is a super interesting area!

I don't mind putting data in the app. I don't want to tell the people running it anything.
Ritepaw · 2 years ago
Maybe I wasn't precise enough. The data remains on your phone. Nothing is sent to us.

I'm German, that's why I was spooked! I'm not in Germany and nothing on my system should be set to German so I was worried you might be applying some sort of mind-reading analytics tech.
Ritepaw · 2 years ago
No need to worry then, it's merely a bug :)

This is a weird question to ask but why's your website German for me?

Edit: Oh, I got it. This submission links to the English version, but the "the next elim." link at the top links to a not specifically English URL, and going from there to any other page gets me to the German version. Huh.

Ritepaw · 2 years ago
Time to learn German then ;-) Good find! Let us get this fixed.
