Simple design and useful idea for keeping in touch
From 3 comments
Love the simple design. $.02 - absolutely require interaction / customization before the app sends messages. Reminding people to send is service enough, and creates an…
evrydayhustling on HNAbsolutely love it. Does it support birthday, anniversary, and other special date reminders? Consider cribbing off of the Monica friends CRM [1] for inspiration. Any plans for an…

Objections
Automated messages feel fake or insincere to recipients
From 4 comments
This doesn't help you maintain connections with people, it's emotional forgery and anyone caught using something like this will find their "connections" evaporate instantly. If…

Requests
Support WhatsApp and other messaging apps
From 3 comments
Would be amazing if it could interface with web.whatsapp.com as most people I know use WA primarily nowadays instead of sms.
superasn on HNNeat. But where in the world do you live that you only need SMS? I'd give it a go if it works with WhatsApp
bdcp on HNIs there a function for this to populate the clipboard with the predefined text and maybe open the messaging program (like Signal, Telegram, Wire, WhatsApp)? This way it could…

Questions
Is the link or app working in my country
From 3 comments
Is the link broken or app is down? It redirects to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.mtc.ga And shows "We're sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server."
fouc on HNThe link is not working.
gtirloni on HNI'm not able to access (play tells me it does not found)? Is country limited app or something?
