📌

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm the maker of Bonds. Here's the backstory: I was a long-time Monica user — the open-source personal CRM with 24k stars. I loved the idea of tracking my relationships like a developer tracks code. But Monica's development has slowed (700+ open issues, tiny maintainer team), and I kept hitting performance walls with the PHP/Laravel stack. So I rebuilt it from scratch. Go backend, React frontend, single binary deployment. No more wrestling with PHP, Composer, or Docker Compose configs. Just download one file, run it, and start logging your relationships. The result: 1,300+ tests, 345 API endpoints, CardDAV/CalDAV sync, full-text search with CJK support, and deployment that takes literally 5 seconds. Bonds is source-available under BSL 1.1 — free for individuals, and will convert to full AGPL open source in 2030. I'd love your feedback — what features would make you switch from your notes app / spreadsheet / memory (lol) to a dedicated relationship manager? ⭐ GitHub: https://github.com/naiba/bonds 📖 Docs: https://naiba.github.io/bonds/ 👀 Demo: https://bonds-dev.infiniteprogre...

Hey, cool app—made an account and it looks promising at first glance.

I built something similar before, inspired by David Rockefeller's Rolodex. Love how straightforward his template was.
Bonds feels a bit busy for my taste.

Quick search on Rockefeller's Rolodex might spark ideas. Could be a nice SaaS/Marketing angle too, if you're interested down the line.

Well done!
