Hey Hunters and Makers! 👋 I'm Mark, the founder of SoonCall - the app for long distance friendship The journey to creating SoonCall has been an interesting one. I'm currently based in the UK, working as a mobile developer at Pocketworks. Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work in software development as well as tech consultancy and research. Throughout these experiences, I've been fortunate to meet incredible people from all over the world. However, as we've scattered across the globe, it's been far too easy for life to get in the way of keeping in touch with these friends over distance. This struggle was the spark that ignited SoonCall. SoonCall is born from a personal need - a tool to help reconnect with loved ones across distances. It's designed to make maintaining long distance friendships easier and more meaningful. Here's some highlights of what SoonCall offers: ✅ Visibility of your catchup frequency, motivating you to stay in touch ✅ Catchup and birthday reminders to reach out, so you never lose touch unintentionally ✅ Friend notes, giving you a space to jot down conversation highlights, ensuring you remember the important stuff. ✅ Simple calendar view for scheduling and viewing your upcoming catch-ups calls We're excited to launch on Product Hunt and would love your feedback! If you're dealing with similar challenges in keeping up with far-flung friends and family, I'd love you to give SoonCall a try and let me know how we can make it better for you. I'll be here in the discussion to answer any questions about our launch, but otherwise you can also connect with me directly on LinkedIn, or check us out on Instagram for more updates and insights into maintaining long-distance relationships. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback! Finally, a big thanks to the rest of the team @judit_salvado @lbeldon and @tobinharris for all their amazing work, and to @annascandella for hunting us and her ongoing support 💚

Great idea and congratulations on the launch on PH! A great tool for people who live internationally or have friendship around the world. It's super difficult to maintain those relationships over the years.

Congratulations on the launch! How does SoonCall tailor its reminders to ensure they are meaningful and not intrusive, and are there any features that help users personalize their interactions based on their friends' preferences?

Hi @anastasia_chakileva_, thanks for your support! I agree that reminders can quickly become intrusive if not managed well, so we do a few things to manage this in the current version of SoonCall: 1. "Suggestions" that can be seen on the home screen. These are visible whenever you open the app, and aren't notifications. 2. "Catchup notifications" that are set by you based on when you would like reminding to catch up with a friend. These can be personalised per friend so you could set a reminder for Jane, a different reminder for Alex, and no reminder for Robin. 3. "Birthday notifications" these can currently be turned on / off for reminding you of all known birthdays, but I'm currently working on some improvements to this to let you personalise it further depending on your preferences. We've also got some exciting changes to our reminders coming soon so that could let you optionally add more date reminders per friend (e.g. anniversaries, childrens birthdays etc.)!

The immediate visual feedback feature sounds really useful. How do you handle data privacy and security for the users' information?

Thanks @memphys_sk great question! In the current version of the app there are no accounts, so your data is local and never needs to leave your device. Data around your friendships should be yours, so there's also no plans to change that in future! For performance and anonymised analytics we're using Amplitude Any other questions drop me a message 😄 I've also put together a privacy policy if it's helpful: https://sooncall.com/privacy-policy

SoonCall sounds like a great app for maintaining long-distance friendships. Questions: - How do the smart reminders work, and can users customize the frequency of reminders for different friends? - How does the catchup tracking feature function? Congrats on the launch, Anna!

@kyrylosilin thanks for the kind words, and great questions! - Every friend is unique, so you could set your preference for Jane to be "Weekly" and John to be "Every 6 Months". The home screen displays smart suggestions for who might be ready for a catch up next, based on frequency and past catchups, but the goal is to continue to make this more intelligent in future releases - Catchup tracking is a place for you to check in on a recent conversation and add in any personal reflections (e.g. how it made you feel and add notes on what you chatted about). Every catchup is collected into that friends history so you can remember what you were speaking about and when
