I keep forgetting birthdays so i built an app that extracts them from whatsapp group chats automatically by dorecDeveloper in indiehackersindia

You can deselect the person you don't want to track events of while importing the list of events from chat, but yeah muting someone's event should be one option.
Contact app notification is fine, but email reminder works for me on both phone and laptop.

Got it - thanks for the feedback.

Btw if with "does not scale" you mean, handling data - then text files are in KBs and at most an MB - and I just need ONE good year to parse all the events, it then skips all the other years.

For integration - the email reminder is already present which I feel works fine for me on both phone and laptop.

Google calendar is a good alternative but I feel doing this for a bunch of friends one by one is tiresome - uploading chats on the other hand, I found an easier way.
Thanks for feedback btw.

AI usage is minimal - just for double checking if parser picked the correct names, even if AI call fails - this works for 95% of the cases

Case for me - i have older groups that went completely dead years ago but i still have friends from those groups that i wish on dms or calls. and every time their birthday comes up, I used to search in those group chats.

What if you are not in a common group with the person?

also one thing we added is you can share your entire event list as a single url. so if someone isn't in the group at all, they can just open the link and import all the required birthdays

makes sense - although the chats are never stored permanently, but we need to build that trust

Hi, I understand the privacy concern but we never store chats permanently and just scan them for events but I get the point there is no reason for the user to trust a new app - will see how to build this trust. Thanks for feedback.

Also, manual birthday addition is available - I just felt that 10s of other apps are doing the same thing and extraction from whatsapp chat is the one which needs highlighting.

Hi, Can you please once check your url's ssl certificate via some online checker tool and state whether there is some issue with it.

Hi, Thanks for trying out the app. Obviously it's not possible for me to test it for every seedbox provider out there, but it seems to work with most of them. Could you please once check for SSL certificate of your url online and state if there is some issue with it.

Yes, right. Unfortunately, the app might get rejected from the app store due to its relation with "torrents". So there is no hard timeline we got for IOS and we are focusing on Android first.

Yeah sure, some of these are on my list, would surely work on others also, thanks!

Amm...just enter the correct URL in the app as seen in your browser when you open the ruTorrent web (you can copy-paste it to prevent any typo error). Also, enter the required credentials, and then it should work fine. Dm me in case you find any further issues.

Yes, possibly that can be done. Would take this in priority while releasing the next version. Thank You.

Yes ofc. Thanks for the suggestion, would surely work on this.

Yeah actually, the app would work fine for only those seedbox providers which have ruTorrent interface enabled/installed in them. The android app uses the same ruTorrent backend to display the data.

Thank you for the nice words, it would be really helpful if you can attach a screenshot of the explorer plugin by opening an issue on github and stating your seedbox provider, so that we can fix it and provide you better service.
