VCF import is stuck or will timeout: This issue is about a bug in the Monica application where importing contacts from a VCF file, exported from Google, fails due to a timeout error or does not start at all when using the 'sync' or 'redis' options, respectively. The user reports that the import process fails with a "Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded" error, and when using the 'redis' option, the import job is created but does not start, as indicated by a
started_at = NULLstatus in the database.- A commenter reports experiencing the same issue, noting that their VCF file with approximately 600 contacts only imports the first 200 before timing out, indicating that the problem may be related to the size of the VCF file or the number of contacts being imported.

Predicting Relationships with existing contacts and prompting confirmation of such predictions: This issue suggests enhancing the contact management system by predicting relationships between existing contacts based on previously established connections, thereby streamlining the process of linking contacts. The proposal includes a feature where the system prompts the user to confirm or deny predicted relationships, which would significantly improve user experience by reducing the manual effort required to establish these connections.
- A commenter agrees with the suggestion and adds that it would also be beneficial for the system to automatically establish grandparent-grandchild relationships when relevant contacts are added. They express overall satisfaction with the product despite this missing feature.

[Chandler] UX on a portrait tablet isn't great, main menu is hidden entirely: This issue highlights a bug in the Monica application where the main menu is completely hidden when using a tablet in portrait mode, causing confusion for users who are unable to navigate the dashboard. The expected behavior is for the menu to either collapse into a touch-friendly format or remain visible and scrollable, ensuring usability on portrait-oriented tablets.
