Hi HN! We're Weston and Clark, founders of EasyDex.
We are in the very early stages of creating a cloud-backed contacts app that gives users the power to control who sees their most important information (name, email, phone, address, social handles, etc.).
The main idea is, when you update your information, it automatically arrives in others' lists. Permissions and sharing are highly customizable and we're working on exporting to OS contacts apps.
The superpower will be the ability to integrate with businesses so that things like the worst part of moving (updating address with 30+ businesses/govt agencies) is all but eliminated.
We're trying to see if this is a thing people will want and use.
Have you seen this before? What makes or breaks an actually good contacts app? What features are a must-have?
Whether you are a potential user or business, your feedback would be invaluable.
Looks simple and clean! Big ups for starts of good screenshots, docs, and quickstart (Docker) instructions.
Regarding the name, "Telescope" is also the name of a Neovim fuzzy finder[0] that dominates the ecosystem there. Other results appear by searching "telescope github".
ORMs, in my experience, fail the hardest when DB admins and web devs butt heads in when and where to create models. It can be an extra hurdle for data flexibility, but it clarifies data architecture at the beginning. In our Django environment, the DB admins won and we added `MIGRATE = False`.
Looking forward to remote collaboration in DevOps, API construction/consumption, and great web backend!
4 years experience as principal/senior developer with full responsibility, and looking for mentors and team members.
The writeup, demos and proofs of concept, along with transparent roadmap/todos on the GitHub page are top notch. Great presentation. I definitely see myself trying this.
This is evidence of a great moment in modern indie game dev: the power of fun and simple prototyping.
