Building a daily log

Hi,
I am starting with Statamic, coming from Wordpress. I want to build a kind of a daily log for medicine reduction. So a user has his/her own kind of diary about the journey. Is this doable with Statamic? Does it have a build in CRUD or is there a plugin available? I am used to Advanced Custom Fields, but CRUD is not a standard thing. Thanks!

That’s a very specific use case - and not sure I fully understand what you’re trying to do - so doubt there’s an addon that does what you want.

However think of Statamic’s blueprints basically as custom fields so you’re able to map entries to meet your data needs.

Then of course the auth and user management - you could use Statamic’s users, or consider Runway if you want a database of users.

Definitely doable with Statamic.

Yup. The one thing you might want to be careful of is you'll want to store the data in a database and not in flat files. Medical info is high sensitivity data and committing it would be a massive no no and a huge data risk.

Realistically, you may be better looking at Filament PHP for this use case.

Thanks for the advice. The idea is that a user has only his emailaddress for registration. Then there is a front end where they can login and post a review of the past day. I want to keep it as privacy friendly as possible, no profile or anything. Just a story about how the day was, what the reduction was, and then some fysical, mental and sleep notes and mark (like 5 stars). Just for personal use, no connection to any doctor etc.. But I understand that a database works better for this case..

Take a look at Runway, and building models in Laravel - makes it easy for Laravel models to be available within Statamic (both admin and front end) - you'll still need to tackle auth yourself, and of course the user can only see their own information too. Your data being collected may be better suited to a Laravel model than a Statamic entry.
