In today’s livestream, we’re setting up Nametag, an open-source Personal Relationship Manager (PRM). Think of it like a CRM (Customer Relationship Management), but built specifically for your friends, family, and professional network instead of sales leads. Note: Nametag is currently in early development. Features are being added rapidly, so we might encounter a few "work-in-progress" moments as we explore the latest build! Why use a PRM? If you struggle to remember birthdays, kids' names, or the last time you reached out to an old colleague, Nametag helps centralize that data. We’ll be looking at the interactive network graph (which visualizes how your friends know each other) and the reminder system. We’ll be going through the entire process: - Setting up the Docker container. - Exploring the configuration and customization options. - Final thoughts on its performance and ease of use.

About This Video

In this livestream I’m setting up and poking around Nametag, an open-source Personal Relationship Manager (PRM). The idea is basically a CRM, but for real life—friends, family, coworkers—so you can actually remember birthdays, kids’ names, and when you last talked to someone. I also talk a bit about why this kind of tool matters right now, especially with how much of our “connection” is getting pushed toward screens and even AI, which honestly weirds me out. From there we jump into the self-hosting side: I walk through the Docker deployment, the compose file, and the .env configuration. Nametag is early in development (and the developer Matto is in chat), so I call out the “work-in-progress” nature and why I appreciate that the repo puts breaking-change warnings right up front. We also compare the concept to Monica (a PRM I covered back in 2021), and why an actively developed alternative is interesting. The big takeaways: the setup is straightforward, the network graph visualization is the standout feature, and it’s a promising project if you’re okay with things changing quickly between releases.
