Using WordPress, I run a personal website (not public) to manage a variety of things for myself. This includes a daily journal entry, RSS feeds, habit trackers, and so on. I also have a Rolodex which functions the same way as your desired SRM. For that, I just use a forms plugin (Gravity Forms) and then display the data on a specific WordPress page. The form allows me to input name, photo, bio, etc.

Ideally this would not hold my data hostage but would instead hold a local database that syncs across devices.

Doing it yourself via WordPress more-or-less accomplishes the same thing.



It seems you have installed a lot of plugins or otherwise did many customizations to wp. Do you have a walkthrough by chance?


I didn’t do too many customizations. I’m just using a form plugin, of which there are many. If you Google “how to display form data on WordPress” you’ll see a few guides. You just have to create a form with fields for all of your desired data (name, photo, etc.) and then submit an entry for each person you meet.
