I’ve had “personal CRM” in my ideas file since 2003. In fact, I failed to convince a buddy to apply to the very first YC batch with it.

Love the concept. But I’d love the landing page at beta.monicahq.com to describe what Monica (or in this case Chandler) actually does. A short video, some screenshots, anything… right now it’s not clear to me why I’d click “signup”.

About that beta page, Man! what the hell is with the light gray text over pale cream color background.

I think it's just because that's their "app" login page, where you already know what it does and you already have an account. When I go to login to AWS or Datadog or whatever, the login page doesn't tell me what it does, either.

Like you, though, I've also had "personal CRM" as a potential project for a very long time. Monica is a great step in that direction, and I've happily used it for many years, but it's not all the way there, and I still hope to one day have the resources and time to actually build something truly great.

Agreed. But I go to https://beta.monicahq.com I get redirected back to the login page. They're missing an opp to communicate what the product actually does beyond "personal CRM that's broadly different from our old one".

I want the Taskwarrior of personal crm.

https://www.monicahq.com/features like that perhaps?

The login page makes it clear Chandler is different from Monica so presumably Monica's feature page doesn't accurately describe Chandler.

in the meantime checkout covve.com
