Ask HN: Personal CRM

1 pointsby ablx0008 months ago
I want to keep contact with former coworkers. However, I am really bad with this and need some tools. Tried to keep contact details and when i last contacted people in my notes, but this did not work. Came across https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.monicahq.com&#x2F; which looks okay, but I do not like it that much.<p>Other than that, i could only find professional CRMs with too much features.<p>Any suggestions here?

Hey I&#x27;m in the process of building something similiar - synctium.com Do you mind telling me what you didn&#x27;t like about Monica?

I do nearly everything with text notes.<p>If I need to record it, it goes in an unstructured text file in Keep, if I want to see it, I have search and tags.<p>Maybe something more structured would be a good idea, but I like not having to fuss with a billion different tools and different sync accounts for everything.<p>For just contact info I just use Google&#x27;s sync on my phone, and I put birthdays in my calendar.

I&#x27;m trying to use Amplenote for this. I already use it for my notes so bit biased there :-)<p>I have daily notes and with inline tagging for example &quot;@john doe&quot; it creates a note for John Doe, on the John Doe note page I can add details and view the backlinks when we interacted.<p>Not sure yet if it&#x27;s viable long term but so far so good.

I would use Airtable for this. It&#x27;s just sheets on steroids with automation and interface.<p>It&#x27;s free to use for personal project

If you&#x27;re in the Apple ecosystem, theres a free form text section in contacts for notes.

Would you be open to custom CRM?
