Ironically, I'm building a web application to address this problem... you can check it out: http://muchcloser.com

Right now it's still at an early alpha. For now it just has some features from highrise, but this will change in a few months.

It's public so if you're interested, you (or anyone else) can let me know what you feel needs to be changed or added to meet your needs




When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.


so what do you suggest I (and people like aswanson) do then?


I do not have any suggestions for you; I'm not especially good at relationships and don't have much experience with startups. Looking at your screenshot, it looks like your app is essentially a to-do list and messaging tool. Most of us already have those. I don't see how yours will help people balance their work and personal lives any better. Sorry to be negative, but this doesn't look like it does much to address the problem you want to solve.


I have no problem with constructive criticism. I just really hate it when people say vague things without any logic or details attached. From my point of view, you're not helping me either realize it's a dead end or how to fix it; you're just saying it sucks

On the other hand what you just wrote is a valid constructive criticism which I really truly appreciate...

yeah I am aware of it and we're working to fix it... like I said, there's a lot more coming in the near future; whether it's useful or not I'll let other people decide once it's done


Nice.
