Is there some type of personal, open sourced CRM or something I could spin up at home to solve this? I get these fleeting thoughts that I need to call/text/email someone, then just forget to to it or get distracted.
I'd love to have something that could lump contacts into groups, then have a reminder to contact group A like once a month, group B once a quarter, group C once a year or something.

- zikduruqe 4y agoWell, there you go. I'll have to check this out.
- throwthroyaboat 4y agoI use this! Intermittently, mostly when I'm moving to a new location, or for family events. But it's great otherwise. Even just using it as a "news feed", scrolling through a list of people you care about and reminiscing about the times you had is a wonderful way to pass time.
- FumblingBear 4y agoI'm not aware of any programs that do that, but personally, I'm reticent to use something like that. I've always found the idea of an algorithm managing personal interactions with friends to be rather artificial and dystopian. There's definitely a value proposition there and I'd be surprised if nothing like that exists—I just want to navigate the problem in a way that feels less superficial to me.
