- matte_black 9y agoBuilding it isn’t the hard part.
- abhishekjha 9y agoKeeping it sane is.
- dleslie 9y agoIndeed, building it is easy but getting people to update it is hard.
- matte_black 9y agoMaybe if you emailed people every month or so asking them to update their info if it’s out of date?
- dleslie 9y agoA great many people that I communicate with stopped using email regularly ages ago. For younger folks the means of communication are messenger apps and social platforms.
- chrisvalleybay 9y agoMarketing it is. I actually thought about this idea for a long time, and did a design based off of the phonebook in iOS 11. But marketing this application is nearly impossible, because it doesn't have any extra features. It just has phone numbers [contact details], and that doesn't excite users to spend time getting it set up. So I concluded that this is something that has to be done from the OS vendor side. We need an extension to the CardDAV protocol, and we need vendors to implement it.
