Thank you!

There's currently no simple way to import via Facebook, but a workaround should let you do it.

(as a disclaimer, you'll need an unrelated Chrome extension that I didn't build. Hope I can built an official birthdays.app version at some point)

Essentially, you can: 1. Export your Facebook friends to a .ics file using the extension called "Birthday Calendar Exporter for Facebook" from https://chromewebstore.google.com

2. Upload your friends and their birthdays to your Google Calendar

3. Go to https://birthdays.app, login via text code, and click "import via Google Calendar"

Let me know if any thoughts or questions come up :)

Yeah nicely said, it's currently in a middle area between a big app vs an app that's not used at all.

So far most of the birthdays.app users have come from X ads (ex: https://x.com/sam_feldman_/status/1930488932132671529) and some from Google Ads, organic search, etc.

I'm now starting to think in terms of high-leverage videos that celebrate strangers on their birthdays (that are more likely to spread based on merit / wholesomeness rather than ad budget alone). Here's an example of one of these videos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSOt2_dIiPI)—hoping to keep iterating and testing out various ideas (with the same core idea of celebrating strangers on their birthdays).

Thanks for your comment, and feel free to let me know if you have any ideas or follow up questions :)

What is your monetization strategy for this? (being open source)

Hey! If this workflow we're building is the git for Docker deployment, we'll make money on the GitHub - collaborative deployment tools built on top of this workflow.
