BetterFriend – a CRM just to be a better friend▲34
I've moved around a lot - and I realized I'm losing track of friends across a lot of apps, locations, and time-zones. At work, we've got a CRM for clients, to remind ourselves to message people. I just needed something much smaller, just to remind myself to message friends and family. Friends, best friends, and family have different cadences that this will generate tickets to remind you to message them. Feel free to use, as I'll continue to host this just for myself regardless.
