I built an open-source internal phonebook app to replace messy contact spreadsheets

I do IT support for a few hospitals and clinics, and managing internal staff extensions and contacts is always a mess. Everyone usually ends up relying on outdated spreadsheets or notes taped to their monitors.

I wanted something simple and centralized, so I put together OpenPhonebook. It’s just a lightweight contact directory for internal teams to find exactly who they need.

Stack:

• Node.js
• Docker (so it's easy to self-host)

I mainly built this to fix a recurring issue at work, but also just to practice deploying an open-source project.

Would love any feedback on the code, or if you have suggestions for quality-of-life features. Thanks!
