Don't humans have faces?

  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. Is the source code available somewhere?

I was just thinking about this yesterday! I went with https://app.simplenote.com 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.

Evernote Hello was pretty nice for this but it got discontinued.

I found that a cronjob did 80% of the job, actually: the pain point is not in remembering the things about them, it's remembering their existence.

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 would never use this without it having an export option. I do not have to login or something. So how can I access the info from another device ?

  Sign up. "Can I download a backup of my humans database? 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.
