Description

Kontakte is a Contact-Book-Application. I developed it as a teen who was actively into online gaming and social media networking. During that time I texted with many people in parallel that I needed to be careful to not mix their identities up. My name remembering memory isn't the best so I started to make some notes about the persons I contacted in combination with their online-aliases.

Apparently making notes felt tedious, I thought that I can develop a little contact-book-application which uses a .txt-file as database which I can synchronize with a cloud. I never had an idea about the file-fomat csv during this time but I did exactly the same as it. The only difference is that I used pipes (|) for separation instead of the semicolon (;).

Key features

  • Cloud-Synchronisation over the .txt-“database”-file
  • Password option (the Database-file isn't encoded, password option only blocks the entry into the application however this doesn't secures the data , this settings were sufficient for me)
  • vCard-export of all or selected people
  • save-on-close
  • Contact-Image with fullscreen-Mode
