Security.

Make me feel safe when adding very personal information about people I meet.

(Btw. I've been considering building something like this myself, I meet so many people that I want to recognize and remember what they told me about themselves. Memory fails me almost every time unless I really put the effort in. Right now I just make a note after every interaction using Simplenote, better than nothing.)

The security aspect is also very important to me. I'm trying to do my best to make it secure by following best practices, and this is also one of the reasons I've open sourced it actually, so the community can help make it better and check that I don't do nasty stuff with it.

Do you have any plans to integrate with contacts on any device/platform?

It may allow you to automatically save calls and manage metadata in sync with an established system.

I've been thinking about this. First step would be an API. Second step would be to either me learn Cocoa, ObjC or .NET to do this on the phones/desktops apps, etc..., or let the community do it.

Tools like React Native and Electron are pretty popular these days to build cross-platform apps and such. Since you know web stuff and I'm assuming JS, those might be a good option to explore so you could maintain them without having to learn the entire toolchain of building for various platforms

I think I'll focus my energy on creating an API first, then I'll be able to do this. I understand how important being on mobile as a native app is. I'll do it
