# Mascarpone CRM

I always write "cream cheese" on my grocery list as "crm chs", so that's what
I think of when I see "CRM".

## Planned Features

* Local contacts
* Contacts stored on a remote CardDAV server
* Act as CardDAV server for other clients
* For each contact:
    * Name, address as single fields (plus code? lat/long? go crazy!)
    * Relationship mapping
    * Birthday reminders
    * Desired contact periodicity
    * Last-contact-time mapping
    * Additional arbitrary fields
* Journal with Obsidian-like `[[link]]` syntax
* Contact groups (e.g. "Met with `[[Brunch Bunch]]` at the diner")
* "Named in journal but has no contact entry" detection
* CalDAV server for birthday reminders
* Email birthday reminders over SMTP
