Which is your preferred messaging app? I just want some insights about these two.

You may share other messaging apps too.

I’m looking to follow more creators and developers on the Fediverse who are passionate about open-source, privacy-first software, and system tinkering.

I spend most of my time working within the Android development stack, building local-first/offline-first applications, running Arch Linux, and messing around with low-level Android rooting and custom kernels.

Let’s follow each other!

I’m testing a tiny idea: “README policy as code.”

Not markdown style linting, but more of a maintainer checks:

• required sections
• example presence
• link checks

Would this be useful in your projects?

If yes, what’s the one rule you’d want first?

We are currently in Beta, but the core features are built and ready for testing!

Here is what you can do in this release:

• Connections: Add contacts with their notes, social links, and relationship context.
• Custom Reminders: Set your own check-in frequencies and get daily notifications so you never accidentally let a relationship drift.
• Important Dates: Track birthdays and anniversaries with annual reminders.
• Home Dashboard: See exactly who is due for a check-in at a single glance.
• QR Sharing: Share and import connection profiles completely offline via QR code.
• Data Backup: Full JSON export and import backups. Your data is yours.
• Organization: Search by name and archive connections you don’t need in your main view.

Beta Notice: This is an early release, so please use the Data Management -> Export Backup feature regularly to keep your data safe between updates!

If you want to give it a try, report a bug, or help shape the roadmap, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a project I recently started working on called Tend (Android app built to help you automate the scheduling of your social life).

The idea originally came from a discussion on r/fossdroid about how hard it is to keep in touch with friends and extended family without relying on bloated, cloud-based business CRMs.

Most “Personal CRM” apps require you to upload your contacts to a random server. I wanted something that was 100% offline, private, and simple.

What it does

You can think of it as setting up cron jobs for your relationships.

• Contact Cards: Create dedicated profiles for people you want to keep up with (Name, notes, phone, socials, etc.).
• Custom Frequency: Set a “check-in” schedule (e.g., every 14 days, monthly, quarterly).
• Smart Reminders: The app will notify you when it’s time to reach out.
• 100% Offline: Everything is stored locally on your device via SQLite/Room. No accounts, no telemetry, no cloud sync.

Since this is in the initial development phase, I’m looking for feedback on the features and the UI.
