very nice! I'll give it a shot! I thought about something similar in the past few years. I like the fact that you insist on "no social pressure" and a "gentle" nudge. The goal is not to make the user feel bad :). I also like that you make me import just a small subset of my contacts, to not feel overwhelmed right from the beginning (start small! make it work then make it better).

some quick feedback: - I feel a more natural path to add an "extra checkin" would be from the "flower" in the garden (home page). - I would love to be able to add a date in the checkin. Let's say I know the person I just checked in with told me she has an important event coming up (exam, interview, work deadline, baby...) I'd love to be able to add a specific date for a future checking on a specific topic.

Heya, just released 1.1.0 where you can add an extra checkin from the flower by clicking on it.

Nice Idea! I noticed a bug during contact import. The month of birthdays are shifted -1 :)

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)!

Why is it only for iOS? That fully cuts me and many others off from even trying it.

There's a waitlist for Android on the website :)

Looks lovely, but unusable by me as I'm on Android.

This looks lovely! I've been meaning to do a better job of calling friends and family. I'll try it out!

Is there a way you can make custom time-intervals? One month seems too short for one of my friends, but 3 months is too long.
mahirhiro · 7 days ago
> yep

in the app you can configure custom time intervals just like in google calendar :)

Hey it’s an amazing app. I was trying to make an app where user can send notifications to friends when they think about them. I think it would be a great additional feature to your app! Reach me if you want to talk about it

Interesting idea. DM me @ poppynudge

I’ve been meaning to build a personal selfhostable version of this. I’ll vibecode it as simple webapp someday and OSS it, should be easy enough.

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.

I recall a post recently that suggested rather than a fixed contact interval ("message this friend every 2 weeks") it was better to use a Fibonacci spiral (2 weeks, 3 weeks, 5 weeks, etc). Perhaps you could implement that?

interesting idea, got a link to what you read?
