A small contact scheduler auto-generates a weekly queue of people to message, uses heuristics about last-contact and frequency, and forces an auto-snooze pattern by popping a reminder for ~15 seconds with no snooze notifications, so outreach feels low‑stakes. It’s open source (GPL), implemented in Electron + TypeScript + SQLite, plans Microsoft Graph calendar sync, is beta but already reduces avoidance, and sits alongside claims about decades of internalized homophobia, ongoing anxiety, and therapy helping manage it.
