Thanks @bentossell!
Remember started when I first met @shanemac in March. He shared his obsession with remembering everyone he meets and how remembering a person's name was a simple way to connect with people.
We have all heard “Remember when we were *there*, we met this *person*, we had such a great time!”. I've come to realize that people and places are the most talked about thing in the world.
Remember sends you a push notification next time you walk into a place and does autolookup for more information from a name, email or phone.
@nguyenstephane I've been using a dopey Evernote doc to keep track of names. It's a pain to get into when I need it. So I love what you're doing here. It's on my home screen.
How are you going to make money with this? I'm concerned that this will be an incredible app that doesn't pay you what you're worth so you'll move on to something else.
@andrewwarner Hi Andrew, People are constantly struggling with notes and Evernote docs and search etc. After building the very first “usable” version, I started to put it out there and Remember just struck a chord! It turns out that everybody is bad at remembering names, but want to be better at it.
More to come on the business model, I will definitely keep you posted!
Just signed up - super excited to use it. A couple thoughts
1. Right now if I use Remember, I'll have to type in that person's contact info twice. Once in Remember and once in my Contacts app.
2. Usually when I meet someone, I'm doing something with them, and I am not going to take the time to put in their info on the spot. Right now the app is focused on logging data on the spot even though my use case is 9/10 afterwards.
3. Can't change the date of meeting someone. I met 5 people this week, but since I signed up for the app today, I can't get started.
@desmondduggan2 Hi Desmond! Thank you so much for taking the time to send feedback, these are great thoughts, I will add that to the backlog.
Also for 1. You can create a person on Remember, then push it to Contact App. This feature, is already available.
for 2. would that help when you "leave" a location where you stay more than XX minutes, a notification would say "Did you meet anybody at xxx"

@nguyenstephane Don't really like the privacy implication there. I would be perfectly happy with being able to search and tag specific locations as well as date and time of the event.
This is the kind of product that you know you need everytime you forget a name, but will the users go through all that friction just to remember people ? And if yes, how many ?
@elieslama the email/phone lookup is pretty cool, add a person with email, if the app finds enough info, it will show it to you! try me, with nguyenstephane@mac.com

@nguyenstephane ok I missed the auto lookup feature 😄
I will try it

@elieslama@nguyenstephane I'm confused from how this differs from say, a CRM. Many of them auto-lookup all relevant data for contacts, and have the ability to set reminders. They don't have the geo notifications which is cool, but is it worth duplicating and using a completely separate app for?
@scawtent@elieslama Hi Scott, I wanted to keep it really simple, a lot of CRM or contact apps could be a little bit complicated to use. With Remember, we just enter a name, possibly an email. It does lookup for photos first then for more information in a scrolling/one button interface. More feature are interesting to explore: Sharing a contact with a friend, or better context: ability to add a person or a social media to add more context to a person you met. Thank you again for taking the time to write your feedback!
@nguyenstephane This reminds me of the Evernote Hello app. Unfortunately, Evernote decided to let it go. I really enjoyed the app as did other people I met and told about it. I look forward to trying this out. The Hello app got somethings right. I hope you can utilize some of it's features.
@pixelenglish Hi Reggie, I am glad I can take a stab at re-candling that flame! let me know what you think I would love to hear your feedback!

@nguyenstephane Can I use the app without Facebook? My wife and I "share" a Facebook account. So when I see sign up with Facebook only it's a door shut in my face. There is another app I wanted to try this week but can't , cause you know Facebook.
Got to hear the story of how this app came to be from Shane Mac on the Work Smart podcast. Cool product Stephane and good work! https://soundcloud.com/worksmart...

Seems like there's some potential here. I have a lot of angst around remembering people's names. I'm curious to see if this makes me better at it. A couple issues:
* didn’t remember location (have to keep searching for it)
* auto-correct should be turned off on last name
* would be nice to do image search sooner (as soon as type name or email) so that can tap image and fill in the rest
@adamloving Hi Adam, Thanks for the feedback!
1. if you used/saved a location before you want it to be selected when you are near it, or at least get it in 10 pre-values? correct?
2. makes sense.
3. I need to think more about this, I would not want things to pop up as you type another field, although I could get the photo icon to change automatically. But it's hard to verify it's really the "right" person.
btw, I pushed a new build which fixes a saving a person for some users. it's available here: http://bit.ly/1Yssmj7

@nguyenstephane for #1, yes correct - at least get it in the 10 values. Thanks! Will keep using it for a few days and see if it sticks.
