Friendsome

@rrhoover @learnux Totally agree Dave

@rrhoover but then possibly the problem is the mass that you are communicating with. Wanna really see you entering 100's of profiles into such a friend profiling app all day long 😂

@rrhoover Hi Ryan! First, Thank you so much for Product Hunt! We’re so grateful for this resource and the continuous inspiration the contributors here provide - and we’re really psyched to have the opportunity to post here! Second, thank you for the comment and great question. About a year ago, out of frustration, my wife and I decided to create an app that would help us remember important details about the people we met. We were tired of going to the park and seeing people we'd met before, and liked a lot, but forgetting their names. Or seeing friends and absent-mindedly asking them questions about things they had clearly told us about before. Or seeing coworkers or clients and doing the same. Or going to the salon, coffeeshop, or doctor's office and forgetting the names of the friendly and helpful people who work there, etc... etc... This was annoying and embarrassing, and, at worst, could even be coming off as disrespectful. We wanted to find a way to overcome these brain-farts because remembering a person’s name is a great way to show that they matter to you, and remembering details about them helps you get closer, faster. And, being close with people is not only good professionally, but also makes us happier, Right? :) As far as products which inspired and motivated us, shortly after beginning work on this project, I saw an app called "Remember" here on PH, which was optimized around remembering names. (It's a great app with a specific focus). We wanted to address the name problem as well, but also capture other meaningful details about relationships too (children's names, etc..). Sales tools have also been a source of inspiration - Salesforce, Pipedrive, Streak, etc... (We think Friendsome can help people doing relationship-focused sales, and wanted to learn about that space too.) Thanks for the question! -Brendan

@helmi @rrhoover Hi Helmi, Great point. If you have a ton of relationships, you might need to prioritize, and just focus on the ones which are the newest or most important, right?

@chrismessina - Hi Chris! Yes - A few other folks we've shown it to have compared it to a CRM, like "Salesforce for Friends" :) Thank you for sharing the link to Monica! Going to check that out now ;)

@jwby Hi Jonathan, Great to hear that you are enjoying the app so far and thank you so much for the feedback. As far as text formatting, definitely agree that makes things easier to scan. We will add that to our todo list. Regarding post tagging and person tagging here are two hacks you may be able to use right now 😄 Post tagging - instead of naming a person, you can name a topic and then attach notes to that topic. Person tagging - in the current release it is possible to add a single note to multiple people by entering multiple names in the name field. We definitely do need to do some work on making this functionality more intuitive, but in the meantime, hope these suggestions can be of some help to you. Also, would love to hear more about what kind of conversations you track. Are they mostly personal or work-related? Thank you again for trying the app and for the great feedback! - Brendan

@learnux Thanks for the thorough response! I like those hack ideas... I'll try them out. The conversations I'm tracking are mostly personal (as I have a professional CRM that I use for work conversations), and tend to fall into two categories: First meetings (I was previously tracking these in my DayOne app, but that is not as optimized for this), and catch-up conversations with old friends. Thanks, again!

@jwby Hi Jonathan, Glad those tips can help :) Would LOOOVE to hear more about the work conversation tracking you're doing, as one of our big goals is to support work conversations as well. BTW, Just checked out your product - https://spire.me - Looks awesome :)

@m_obretenov Hi Martin, Thank you for the comment. What a cool idea!!! Going to share that with the team and think about that one! )

@parkerwoodward Thank you so much, Parker! Love how you've worded that. Hoping Friendsome can help us in those ways :) Personally, it's helped me slow down and pay more attention to the details when I meet people, and the act of writing things down after interactions has helped immediately grove those details into memory. And remembering/knowing about the person you're speaking with is a great way to make a "real connection", right? :)

@aproehl20 Thank you, Anastasia :) Hope this comes in handy for you in the future! :)

@ravsydney Thank you, Ravi. TruContacts looks very cool - downloading now! Would love to connect with you and chat some time :)

@learnux The live version doesn't have some advanced features (and better ux/ui) that is on the version currently under test. Happy to share the test version (iOS only). It has spotlight search, OTP by SMS etc. Cheers
