Build a mobile personal relationship assistant.

You can add new contacts in there, and the frequency you want to catch up with them. The app shows you the upcoming people you should contact.

It will help people build and maintain their social network. Create the app using html5/js so that people can use it from anywhere.

Example:

Robert -> Due

Jenny -> to contact in 3 days

Arthur -> to contact in 4 days

Matt -> to contact in 10 days

This would actually be pretty cool. I suck at keeping up with people and checking in on how things are going with them. A simple reminder with some context along these lines would go a long way I think.

That is actually pretty interesting. I was thinking trying to build something like that but with some kind of integration with my gmail accounts.

The thing is you don't contact people only by email, integrating the tool with emails would complicate it unnecessarilly I think.

Good point.
