[DeepDive] Friend/Social/Contact Management/Personal CRM

[0xdevalias]

Concepts / Features

• Not designed to replace a social network/it's features, but to sit as an adjacent between social networks, contacts lists, etc
• Groups/rings of 'focus' (eg. closer friends vs less close friends, or perhaps even based on a certain topic/tag, 'favourites' but more flexible, maybe like Google+ 'friend circles')
• Ability to record when you hang out, and also to see how long since you last caught up
• Ability to add tags + search/filter by them
• Identify which friends contacts are not 'up to date' (eg. missing mobile number, email, address, birthday, social profiles, etc)

    • The features are Calendar Events, which allows users to create and manage their appointments privately or with each other; Poly Chat, a very easy way to chat with selected partners; and Poly Family, an optional way to keep poly family/lovers organized. We needed this feature because we all have other partners. Poly Fun is the only public feature in our app and a great way to create and share events with all users of the app. Relationship Status is an optional way to organize your relationship status with other partners/lovers. Our favorite part of the app is the To Do List. We've all forgotten to pick up toothpaste or toilet paper at some point. Now we can give each other chore reminders and assign them with no excuses for dropping the ball!
