hahaha love the "so now you can finally delete your Facebook account" tagline. I think its cool to use email as a notifier. @kossnocorp are you looking to incorporate SMS? I think that would be another way to engage people!
@marcoafabrega I didn't consider SMS mainly because of its cost. I'm wondering do you personally prefer SMS over email?

@kossnocorp Well personally for me, since its a birthday I would rather have a simple notification rather than an email but both have utility. I think the text could make the message more conversational.
Hey, hunters!
Some time ago, I decided to delete my Facebook account. I exported my data, wrote a farewell post, and started thinking of what else I need to carry with me. Then I immediately realized that there's one feature that I'll be missing the most — birthdays reminders.
So I decided to make a free app that will remind you about your friends' birthdays. I got inspired by my previous project — Diary Email, private journal app that you write to using email, so I decided to explore the further the email topic.
Please welcome, Birthdays Reminder! It's a simple web app that reminds you of your friends' birthdays via email. After sign up you set up the reminder time and your timezone and at the day when a friend has a birthday, we'll send you an email at the specified time.
You can add birthdays manually or import data from Facebook.
The project maintenance costs me literally pennies, so I set to keep it alive forever.

@kossnocorp Having this app as chrome extension would be much greater. As birthdays are constant dates so just one time import is required, No need of active internet connection for reminder after that.
I'm not sure if you have open sourced this project but i would like to work on its chrome extension implementation.
Thoughts?
Honestly, I'm not sure. I'm not a big fan of Chrome extensions (although I use selected few) because they have too much control over the browser. I hear too often stories about extensions spying on users or stealing their data. It just doesn't fit my narrative. A desktop or mobile app would be a better option, but that's a different story. Also, why would you open Chrome if you don't have an internet connection? 😉
@kossnocorp@iammarcthomas The only reason I haven't completely deleted mine is I want to download all my photos first.

Smart solution!!! There is a missing feature... the ability to be able to import birthdays from Gmail, Outlook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other platforms, if you do this, I'm sure I'm going to buy you 1 coffee per each one... I love you so much jajaajajaj :-P
