Confession: I have terrible memory. I can never who's who or who's where. (Sorry, James… er, John?) Hence, I built Backstory to help myself recall my connections. Fun fact: It’s also my birthday today! 🎂The biggest gift would be your feedback! 🥳 BTW: Privacy is critical, so your notes are stored offline in your browser. You can turn on cloud syncing between multiple devices. Hope this helps you become a better friend!

@zhicong Happy belated Birthday! I don't use Facebook and would love this for Twitter! Any plans on building that? I wouldn't mind paying for it tbh 🐣

@amrith First off - you're awesome!!! 🙌🙌 I was planning to integrate into LinkedIn next, however if Twitter has a bigger use case, I'm open to doing that instead!

Great choice for the product name!

@oneway_wenrui It certainly is better than the original name I came up with, "Whodat"... (saying it just makes me cringe 😂)

I've been waiting for something like this - but would really really like it cloud synced. Most of the time when I need this info I'm on the go.

@joeduncko It currently syncs across browsers on multiple devices through the cloud! Depending on the response, I may build a mobile app for this to use on the go too :)
Joe Duncko
@zhicong Oh, gotcha! I guess I read "so your notes are stored offline in your browser by default." as there was no cloud functionality. Awesome!

@joeduncko Thanks for pointing that out - updated my initial comment to make it clearer!

@joeduncko I represent people who develop software. I care a lot about user experience and I'd discuss with you using e.g. Facebook "on the go". We can agree on how such a conversation should benefit you and us, so that you and I find time for it. To the extent that we discuss this publicly, you and others stand to benefit much more than one could guess from this message. Information from my profile could help you understand this better.
