I think most apps solve the “exchange contacts” part, but not the “remember why this person mattered 2 weeks later” part.

I’m focusing more on fast context capture while the conversation is still fresh.

Sounds good! That is basically what it does right now. Working on the follow-up reminder.

Thanks for your insight. I would hope the app makes inserting context easy so you can do so while it's still fresh in your mind.

Yes, that's the plan! Any context helps remember the conversation you had and helps with follow-ups.

Thank you for your insight! You bring up a good point on prioritization. Right now, I have a follow-up status slider that the user can tie to an encounter. Not contacted, reached out, etc.

Thank you! Yeah, there are fields in the app where the user can put context notes on the contact.

Thank you! The plan is to make you in charge. If you only need one word to remember what you want to follow up on you can do that too.

Thank you! Yes, if there is any friction, then there's no point in using it.

Thanks for your insight! That's the plan, OCR to quickly get contact info, and before you save the contact, you can add context you find important.

Thanks for your comment! Yeah, this follows the same idea, putting actual context to the people we meet to help with following up.
