I recently gave flokk a run on my laptop as a snap. I was surprised how different a concept it is and also the decisions they made.
Its simply a google contact manager but its focused around social. Its not perfect but I wasn’t sure about it at first, I didn’t want to enter in additional information if it wasn’t actually syncing with my google contacts. I checked and all the details I entered into my contacts were correctly synced and not dumped into additional data. They were!
Quite a few friends have complained that I don’t follow them on twitter. This is a really neat way to see what they up.
Its got some work to do on the contact management but as a social tool its good. Currently it only supports Twitter and Github but I can imagine Mastodon could be easily added in the future. I know Facebook would be interesting for other people too I guess.
