< Cutting off unnecessary complexity
Honestly, Monica as a personal CRM is a neat idea - as long its hosted somewhere and being served to multiple users. But for a single-user usage, its overkill indeed.
A spreadsheet *could* work, but then you'd miss out the nice stull such as images, and it would be slow.
I think nocodb strikes a nice balance between them both, plus it also have releases as binaries - which makes it more maintainable for a single user usecase. I just need to build the data schema first 😅
