    Improve social habits by using reminders to keep in touch.
    Spreadsheets can work quite well for this. I made an iOS app as side project inspired by this post from Derek Sivers. https://amicu.app.

  2. A second brain, for you, forever. Obsidian is a powerful knowledge base that works on top of a local folder of plain text Markdown files.
    - create or open the friend file containing a particular name from the command line (ex: `,people Sarah` prints out all the Sarah files I have and asks me which I'd like to open) I think plain text is the way to go with something as personal as a system for keeping track of your friends. I was inspired to go this route by your post on journaling[1]: > If digital, use only plain text. It’s a standard format not owned by any company. It will be readable in 50 years on devices we haven’t even imagined yet. Don’t use formats that can only be read by one program, because that program won’t be around in 50 years. Don’t use the cloud, unless you’re also going to download it weekly and back it up in plain text outside that cloud. (Companies shut down. Clouds disappear. Think long-term.) I've been chewing on how to make this system something that might be used by other people who don't know how to use the command line. Something like the way Obsidian[2] works might make sense. 1. https://sive.rs/dj 2. https://obsidian.md/.

    +1 to this. I use Dex https://getdex.com/ and I see a few other apps in the feed too. There is clearly some market demand. Life gets busy and it helps to have something more than just a stock contacts app.
