I'm going to ask a stupidly geeky question.
Has anyone here used a FRM - Friend Relationship Manager?
Like a CRM. A database of people you know, with entries about when you last met, if they stood you up, what their favourite drink is, what you argued about, etc.
I'm looking for *personal* recommendations from people who actually use one of these tools.
What do you like about them? What would you change?
No need to reply if you don't use one, thanks!

@Edent I've used Monica before but it didn't quite fit my use case and the name is weird

@dajb thanks!
Anything you did / didn't like about it? -
@dajb thanks!
Anything you did / didn't like about it?@Edent For a "PRM" it felt like a CRM. I essentially want to say "X's partner's name is Y, they like tacos, and having some dental work done next week." That's then stored somewhere for quick retrieval.
So I go, "I'm meeting X for dinner tomorrow, remind me about what they like and anything I should know when we meet."
Kind of like having loads of .md files queried by an LLM, I guess...

@Edent I first heard of this idea from this SeaGL talk - you might be interested in watching it if you haven't already (it covers CiviCRM and Monica):

In the end I never did anything like this myself, but I have considered doing so on some occasions, and I do tend to create tasks in TaskWarrior to respond to people when they contact me.

@Edent
I've heard it called a "Farley file" as one was used by a politician of that name to keep track of everyone he met but, unsurprisingly, couldn't remember every detail of. I tried developing an online one once but never completed it as my needcase changed. Like most things it requires continuous updating to be useful. -

@Edent I have not, but I wish social networks were more like this.
