Radar — Contacts sorted by latest activity, not the alphabet

@coolnalu Hey Terry, thanks for the feedback.
1) Integrating with all the various platforms that Radar connects with was quite a challenge. Beyond that, choosing where we needed to remove features rather than add features was very hard.
2) Radar actually doesn't duplicate or merge your contacts from all over your networks. Contact synchronization is extremely complex and tough. It's something that we've seen tried many and many times, yet nobody has really gotten it. With this initial version of Radar, we wanted to zero in and solve contact quality rather than the quantity problem. We're absolutely focused on this idea of having a contact list that is sorted by activity and we still have a lot to do.
Looks nice, why would you say this is better than how iOS already does it? The contacts are sorted by activity in the app switcher
@raulriera Thanks Raul. The iOS app switcher shows you activity that relates to the recency of your messages/calls with your contacts. Radar integrates with the many public platforms that we use today and processes the activity there. In this version you can connect Radar with 11 different platforms and stay up-to-date with them.
Here's a list of the platforms you can integrate Radar with -
Email/Twitter/Instagram/Youtube/Soundcloud/Foursquare/Pinterest/Tumblr/Medium/Wordpress/RSS
@dannywitters nice, are they from interactions between us or just their own personal activity?
@raulriera their own personal activity. Whether your contact sends you an email or posts a tweet or writes a new blog post, it will be reflected. In essence, its adding notifications to contacts.
Why are my contacts sorted alphabetically?
We live in a world where we're connected to our contacts across multiple platforms (email/blogs/social media). There's a tremendous amount of information produced, yet every time i look at my contact list, 'Aa' is at the top. Wouldn't it be a lot more helpful if my contacts were sorted by their latest activity?
Last year, I began working on an application to solve this and today, I'm very excited to bring Radar to the Product Hunt community.
Let me know what you think and i'll be here to answer any questions!
@dannywitters love this idea and completely agree. Shoot me a note I want to help.
Nice, this could be applied to a whole range of repetitive tasks. Out of the 100.000+ folders on my Mac I'm normally using around 10 per day, they should be automatically highlighted in Finder or something. But back to this: nice hunt.
