Author of the project here. Sorry about this.
Monica is not for everyone. I built it for me because I can't remember stuff. It's not my fault, I have a really bad memory and I think I'm somehow autistic. I would prefer that I didn't need it, and I hope no one will ever need it, but we do.
So for a certain type of people, it's useful.
Do you know that this tool is used in a lot of religious organizations? For prison visitors? For clubs and associations? It's good that some people find it useful for them.
> Can you remember the names of the children of all your friends? Can you remember the wedding anniversary of your brother? Can you tell the last time you called your grand mother and what you talked about?
I freaked out because I can't remember any of that stuff. I have to keep my kids' birthdays in an app just so I can recall how old they are.
Presumably, because it’s perceived as technology intruding into a very personal and intimate sphere that’s social relationships with people you know very well.
I personally don’t care. If you have to remember my face using a digital system because your analogue one won’t handle it, then that’s an accessibility feature.
