Reminday.com will remember birthdays for you

Have you ever come across a situation where you feverishly choose a gift for a friend along the way to his DR? When do you call to congratulate your loved one at 21:30, although all decent people have already congratulated him / her before 14:00? Have you ever started your congratulatory speech with the words “better late than never ...”? It is for such cases that we created Reminday , whose mission is to remind you of the birthdays of your friends and relatives.


The authorship of the project belongs to your humble servant and mihteh , so if Reminday really dislikes you and you no longer want to see any mention of it on the habr, don't forget to correct it too.

Why do we need another birthday reminder service ?!

In order not to repeat, we have collected a selection of frequently asked questions on the topic of the appropriateness of the service, and our answers to them.

Why do you need Reminday if social. Do the networks themselves remind you of birthdays?
1. Reminders usually come in social. network and not by e-mail, respectively, increases the chance not to see it.
2. The situation when the number of friends in the social. Networks far exceed the number of people whose birthdays are important to us, and in social. network can not choose which DR remind.
3. Soc. the network reminds of the DR only those people who are your friends in this social. network. And often the user has friends who are not in this social. network, but which is in the other. And almost always there are contacts that are generally not in the social. networks. In Reminday you can add them manually.

Why do I need Reminday if every mobile phone has a reminder feature for DR?
In the mobile phone for each contact that is important to you, you need to manually fill the DR. In social. networks in 95% of cases, users indicate their birthday and the memorization of DR in Reminday occurs in one click. You may also have contacts that you want to congratulate on DR, but with whom you communicate only virtually, and accordingly they are not in your phone.

Why do I need Reminday if there is a Google Calendar?
Because Reminday is sharpened by the reminders of the DR, than the Google Calendar, besides in the latter there is no import of contacts from the social. networks. By the way, especially for the users of this service, we will soon make an export to the Google Calendar, so you will need to go to Reminday only to collect contacts from the social. networks.

Main features

In order to start the service as early as possible, we had to temporarily set aside a lot of pledged buns and chips, and concentrate on the functionality that Reminday simply could not exist. We hope we succeeded. The first version of the service was developed and launched during the month, 90% of the development was conducted on weekends, when, apart from calls from angry wives (Olesya, hello!), Nothing could tear us away from the process.
