I actually have created many personal sites for different audiences and track it. Save their urls, pictures, and other relevant attributes (based on the audience)
This excited me until I saw it was so basic. Mine isn't a scalable solution currently and I would be surprised if people wanted to store the level of detail I do in the cloud. Seems more suitable for a self-hosted project.
Definitely needs the ability to add fields. And then make them searchable. And ideally peace of mind knowing its encrypted end to end, including image content. A hosted service would be a honeypot otherwise.

I was just thinking about this yesterday! I went with https://app.simplenote.com instead. Your app probably won't be compelling until you add more specific features that beat a generic note-taking app.

It's a neat idea, and yea, support for adding a photo would be nice.
Is there a way to do self hosting? There's no indication whatsoever about what happens to the data that users might enter, and many would see this as a privacy concern.

I do not have to login or something. So how can I access the info from another device ?

Yes! Just click "Settings" at the top and you'll be able to download a full backup of your humans."
It also works offline and sync when online again.

Nice one. I'm surprised you let him into your database.

Is the source code available somewhere?
