Show HN: CoRM – Lightweight Contact Relationship Management with API Access

Localize thousands-separator, too, if feasible.

I'm aiming to get a non-EU internationalized version up as soon as possible. I was hoping the current (somewhat) equality of EUR and USD would be enough for a start, but apparently, this is not the case.

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks!

Take your time, maybe the next time you'll look at it there won't be any typos left ;) (At least the wording should be fixed now, thanks for pointing that out.)

I'll add a few more screenshots of the various sections, especially the management interface.

Additionally, I was thinking of putting up a demo account so interested customers could try out most everything (probably except for file uploads) without having to sign up – would you use something like that?

Screenshots will be added, likely along with a demo account to try things out first-hand.

I'm also not terribly happy with the way the font renders on Windows compared to Mac. I was playing around with letter-spacing on the body text, but everything above 0.5px turned out really ugly. I might have blinders on from seeing it the way it is now much too often in the past few weeks, though. Maybe switching to something along the lines of Proxima Nova might help, I'll have a go at this on my local development in the next few days.

Anyways, thanks a bunch for providing feedback!

Sorry for taking so long to reply, I was a bit swamped over the last days. There are now a few screenshots over at the "Features" page (https://cormhq.com/features) as well as link to a live Demo at the bottom of "Features" and at the top of "Pricing"/"Sign Up". You/Your dad can just check it out yourself and see whether it's the right fit (I'd argue it is).

That said: This was originally planned during my work for another startup where we were in contact with a lot of customers of relatively low lifetime value. As such, we needed a lightweight system to track our interactions with them without any sales overhead – all we needed was to know if/when we already had contacted them and maybe how their mood was. Plus, a bit of oversight over our outbound agents was required, so some basic statistics needed to be collected.

(Also, a lot of our customers came through other channels than direct contact, so we would often have to move contact details from production systems into our CRM, which prompted the inclusion of an API.)

So, I'd say the main use case is if you're in a similar position: You need to keep track of who you've already talked to and what they said, but you're not in need of a real campaign management and don't have a highly structured sales process that needs to be reflected in your CRM. This often applies to smaller startups selling SaaS-Accounts, where most customer contact is of the "are you happy/is everything working?"-variety and large acquisition strategies are prohibitively expensive compared to what a customer brings in (or are simply not relevant).

I guess this was my trying to work against the often-levied criticism of "I have no idea what your product does based on the landing page" around here. Based on your and other's feedback I might have overshot the mark a bit there, though. I'll see to it that there will be more screenshots as well as a demo account available and will reduce the text a bit. Sometimes less is more, after all.

Thanks!

Thanks a bunch, fixed this just now. It's great how can you spend loads of time on finding typos in the regular copy and then let something like this slip through.
