Coppice: Human Connection

Losing touch is rarely a decision. It is a friend you would drop everything for, who you last messaged in March, and every time they cross your mind it is at a moment when you cannot do anything about it. By the time you could, it feels like too long has passed to just say hello.

That gap is the whole problem, and it is much worse if you have ADHD, where a person genuinely stops existing the moment they are not in front of you. It is not indifference and it never was, which is why being told to try harder does not help.

Coppice closes the gap. You tell it about the people in your life the way you would tell a friend, by typing or just talking, and it keeps track: who you saw, what is going on with them, what you said you would follow up on. It watches for the ones going quiet and brings them up when you have a minute, rather than at eleven at night when you cannot ring anyone.

It is private. No feed, no profiles, no follower count, nothing shared with anyone. It is just your own notes about people you care about, and something making sure they do not sit there unread.
