Lottie is an open format for animated vector graphics (lottie.github.io)

At work, we've got a CRM for clients, to remind ourselves to message people. I just needed something much smaller, just to remind myself to message friends and family.

Friends, best friends, and family have different cadences that this will generate tickets to remind you to message them. Feel free to use, as I'll continue to host this just for myself regardless.

If you're emailing me because your CRM told you to do so, you're not my friend.

Yeah, sure, sorry about that. But I'm able to forget my own birthday so this could be useful.

That’s short-sighted… I need a reminder to call my mom, doesn’t mean I don’t care about her.

Most calendar apps will have an option to add birthdays from your contacts onto the calendar. If you add people's birthdays to their contact record in your phone you'll see all their birthdays on your calendar. Bonus points if you add the year, the calendar will show their age.

This also works for anniversaries and other dates and can usually be color coded.

Very cool! Are you familiar with https://www.monicahq.com/ ?

First thing that came to mind. The vercel domain here is also off-putting, makes it feel like a weekend project that could be turned off any second.

Landing page sucks hard tbh. Why should I start a free trial for something where I don't even know the price or can see any screenshots?
