    Looks great. Would you recommend this (or another CRM) for a solo-entrepeneur running a boutique software consulting company? To tailor my needs (and satiate the inner geek in me), I ended up building my own little personal CRM after trying several that didn't quite fit my needs. Really, I want a CRM that combines the amazing aspects of both a personal CRM (like Monica) with more traditional, enterprise features like SugarCRM or Hubspot or Salesforce.

    It looks great! But I’m having a hard time to understand your business model. A single, flat price may be cheap or expensive depending on customer’s revenue. I, for instance, run a very small publication and would love giving Wobaka a shot, but it’s steep price for my use case (one user, a dozen advertisers/customers per year). You said in a comment here you’re not chasing enterprise market, but flat prices also spooks very small business.

    Basecamp solved this by offering a limited version for free — which I use to managed the editorial part of my publication.

    I was researching CRMs recently and could not find a single one that offered imap or pop3 integration. Which means you have to bcc every outgoing email and forward every incoming one just to achieve a conversation history within the context of CRM data. On the flipside I couldn’t find either an email client that offered minimal CRM features to be able to do this well either.

    I just want to open a contact and see entire history plus any notes, tags, data Ive added…

    Hey! Love your API docs, with what did you make it with?

    Yourself or some framework? If so, can you share please?

    I love products like Basecamp and this, with one-price, and an opinionated workflow. It's like having a consultant built in with the tool: here's the right way to do it! We know better than you because this is what we do all day.

    Very clean looking. Of course, the part that caught my eye is probably the least relevant. I've integrated robohash in a few places, so seeing it here was a treat. Is that just for the screenshots or is it part of the application?

    I like this approach and will have a closer look.

    Interesting pricing model, I personally use less annoying crm as a technical, non-too-salesy guy who wants something simple.

    Hey so quick question is there such a thing as a "modular" CRM. I am thinking of using Retool for it.

    this is really slick Fredrik. the site and purity of message is awesome.

    How does this differ from the other CRMs?
