IDEA: Addressbook software (simple, yet powerful)

<< < (2/2)

I would be very excited if a programmer would take up this project.  I really wish I was able to do it myself.  I think it is something that is lacking out there, and it would be really useful.  I have searched a lot for anything that can come close to what I am asking, but there is nothing at all.  Thanks!

I've been looking for an address book program with similar criteria to yours. I believe I found it today, and it's not a windows program but rather a PHP application. I've got some space on a webhost so I was able to install it.

It has a pretty crude relationship system (You have to enter the database ID# for the spouse/children, but it shows the ID on each screen so this isn't so bad. Also, you can duplicate a record with a new name so you only have to type information once. Once done, though, nothing keeps the duplicate records in sync.)
It has search-as-you-type via AJAX.
It is in PHP so it'd be potentially reasonable to customize it.
It has pictures.

It's got a multi-user feature that I don't need, and it requires captcha for all logins, which is annoying. And, of course, it requires some sort of webserver. This may be an advantage, since it's accessible to me from anywhere with the internet.

The orignal program is at http://sourceforge.net/projects/php-addressbook/
And the fork that has most of the features you want is at http://www.jonathanpress.com/TEMPLATE.php?page_id=pkqSGpiYRpTCRrPCpjtkus
There is a demo of the latter at http://www.jonathanpress.com/address/index.php - login with admin/admin.

The original program doesn't require any login but it doesn't have relationships or pictures, and the print options are fewer.

I would also like something like that. I use the Thunderbird address book for my contacts. I think it has everything you want, but it's annoying to have to open Thunderbird to access it, especially on a netbook. It would be nice if Thunderbird would separate the address book from the rest of the program.
