Wohin wir gehen

Ein öffentlicher Überblick darüber, was wir gebaut haben, woran wir bauen und was wir als Nächstes planen. Keine vagen Versprechen, keine Q3-2027-Zeitpläne, keine Funktionen, die nur in einem Pitchdeck existieren.

Steht auf der Liste. Wirklich.

Sharing & Public Catalog

Platform

Public profile pages and shareable collection links. Show off your collection without inviting people over.

Insurance & Valuation Reports

Data

Generate PDF reports for your insurer: book list with photos, estimated values, total collection value. The document your insurance company asks for after the flood.

Provenance Evidence Governance

Provenance

Treat condition photos, provenance sources, appraisal files, invoices, and insurance documents as evidence with lifecycle rules, safer deletion, and clearer access history. Not just uploads — the paper trail of the paper trail.

Catalog Readiness Score

Cataloging

A readiness score for each book: photos, condition, provenance, edition details, valuation, identifiers, and catalog entry completeness. Know which books are ready for insurance, sharing, sale, or auction — and which still need homework.

Sale Listing Layer

Marketplace

Create separate sale-ready listing records from internal book dossiers. Keep provenance, condition notes, valuations, and private collector data safe inside the catalog while publishing clean descriptions, selected photos, prices, and channel-specific fields to public catalogs or marketplaces.

Dealer Directory

Marketplace

Dealers with a business profile, browsable by collectors. Find a specialist by region, period, or subject. Connecting buyers and sellers, the old-fashioned way.

Admin Impersonation

Admin

"View as user" mode for debugging. See exactly what a user sees — their books, collections, settings. With a big red banner so you don't forget whose life you're living.

Data Cleanup Tools

Admin

Orphaned records, inconsistencies, duplicate publishers. The janitor's toolkit for when the platform grows beyond one-person oversight.

Catalog Generator

Cataloging

Select books, generate a professional Word catalog. Numbered entries with author, title, year, condition, provenance, optional pricing. Image placeholders ready for your photos. We build the skeleton, you make it yours. For dealers, auction houses, and collectors who take their library seriously.

Community

Platform

A place for collectors and dealers to talk shop. Book identification, trade discussions, knowledge sharing. Discord first — in-app if the community outgrows it.

Invoice System

Platform

PDF invoices per payment with sequential invoice numbers, merchant details, customer address, and VAT calculation. Auto-generated on payment, downloadable from the Billing tab. The document your accountant asks for.

WooCommerce Integration

Marketplace

Turn your catalog into a webshop. Sync books to WooCommerce as products — no re-entering, no copy-paste. Dealer only.

Catawiki Integration

Marketplace

From catalog to auction in one export. Lot descriptions generated, categories mapped, conditions translated. Dealer only.

AbeBooks / ZVAB Integration

Marketplace

Feed your inventory to the world's largest rare book marketplace, straight from your catalog. Dealer only.

Gebaut, getestet und verfügbar.

Bibliographic Cataloging

Cataloging

76 formats, 45 cover types, 65 bindings, BISAC subjects, pagination, collation. Everything Excel couldn't handle.

Ausgeliefert in 0.1.0

Catalog Entry Generator (Trade + ISBD)

Cataloging

Two professional output modes — Trade Catalog (how dealers describe books at fairs) and ISBD Formal (how librarians describe them in catalogs) — in thirteen languages, each following its national trade association conventions. Your auction house and your librarian will both be impressed.

Ausgeliefert in 0.25.0

Contributors & MARC Roles

Cataloging

69 contributor roles with smart name parsing. Because "author" is just the beginning.

Ausgeliefert in 0.2.0

Advanced Search

Search

14 searchable fields, query-by-example, global search, empty field search. Find the needle in your organized haystack.

Ausgeliefert in 0.2.0

Import & Export

Data

Import from any spreadsheet — Excel, CSV, or TSV with automatic column detection and multilingual field mapping. Export to XLSX, CSV, JSON, XML, RIS, BibTeX. Your data, your format, your choice.

Ausgeliefert in 0.3.0

Statistics Dashboard

Data

Five tiers of charts and metrics. Total value, condition distribution, acquisition trends. More charts than a stockbroker's office.

Ausgeliefert in 0.4.0

Admin & User Settings

Admin

Profile, preferences, date formats, items per page. Also: admin dashboard with user management.

Ausgeliefert in 0.5.0

External Links

Cataloging

Configurable link types per user, auto-fill URLs, open-in-new-tab. Connect your books to the world.

Ausgeliefert in 0.5.0

Library Lookup (32 providers)

Data

One search, thirty-two libraries across twenty-seven countries on five continents. If a book exists and has an ISBN, we'll probably find it.

Ausgeliefert in 0.26.0

Duplicate Detection

Search

Fuzzy matching with adjustable threshold. Find the books you accidentally cataloged twice at 3 AM.

Ausgeliefert in 0.6.0

Collections & Tags

Cataloging

Multiple collections, colored tags, bulk actions. Organize by theme, room, project, or whim.

Ausgeliefert in 0.7.0

Provenance

Visual timelines with 10 owner types, 14 association types, evidence sources. The whole story, beautifully told.

Ausgeliefert in 0.8.0

Enrich Mode

Data

Search libraries and merge data field-by-field. Green for new, amber for different. A diff tool for bibliographers.

Ausgeliefert in 0.8.0

Currency & Valuation

Data

Multi-currency with live ECB rates, profit/loss tracking, home currency setting. Know what your collection is worth.

Ausgeliefert in 0.8.0

Marketing Website

Website

Landing page, Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, About, Changelog, Roadmap. All with Swiss design and questionable humor.

Ausgeliefert in 0.9.0

Announcements

Admin

System-wide and targeted banners. Dismissible. For when we have something to say and can't wait for you to check the changelog.

Ausgeliefert in 0.9.0

Locale & Number Formatting

Platform

Single locale setting drives number format (1,234.56 vs 1.234,56) and date display. Because Belgium alone has three official languages.

Ausgeliefert in 0.9.0

Feedback & Bug Reporting

Platform

Bug reports, contact requests, callback requests — with admin queue, email alerts, and status tracking. Because "it doesn't work" is not a bug report.

Ausgeliefert in 0.9.0

Marginalia Blog

Website

23 articles on condition grading, ISBD, provenance, ISBN history, book formats, and cataloging notation. Authority content for collectors and excellent procrastination material.

Ausgeliefert in 0.9.0

Admin System Stats

Admin

Growth charts, data health scores, activation funnels, and tier distribution. The kind of dashboard that makes you either proud or nervous.

Ausgeliefert in 0.21.0

Condition History

Cataloging

The physical life of a book: restorations, rebindings, repairs, damage events, assessments. Timeline with CRUD and auto-prompt on condition changes.

Ausgeliefert in 0.10.0

Printable PDF Inserts

Cataloging

Vintage 3×5" catalog cards with red line and typewriter font, plus full catalog sheets in Swiss typography across 6 paper sizes. Your digital collection meets paper.

Ausgeliefert in 0.11.0

Pre-Launch Polish

Platform

The invisible work that makes a product feel finished. Save confirmations, unsaved-changes dots, duplicate warnings, loading states, error pages ("Ex Libris Nobody"), and a scroll-to-top button. Thirteen improvements in one afternoon.

Ausgeliefert in 0.24.0

SEO Foundation

Website

Sitemap (71 pages), social preview images for every page, and all the invisible metadata search engines look for before they look at your content.

Ausgeliefert in 0.24.0

SEO & Discoverability

Website

The sequel where we actually told Google about all those pages. Structured data on every public page: FAQ schema, ItemList for blog and wiki indexes, BreadcrumbList on articles, OpenGraph article tags, JSON-LD for changelog and roadmap, and llms.txt for AI crawlers. Seventy-six pages in the sitemap, all asking politely to be indexed.

Ausgeliefert in 1.1.0

Dark Mode & Design Tokens

Platform

220 hardcoded color classes replaced with semantic design tokens across 31 files. Sun/Moon toggle in the app header. Zero gray-* classes remaining. The app finally respects your system preference — or lets you choose.

Ausgeliefert in 1.2.0

Saved Searches

Search

Bookmark your most-used filter combinations and recall them with one click. A dropdown next to the Advanced button shows all saved queries with a count badge. Hover to delete, click to load. Your search bar now has a memory.

Ausgeliefert in 1.2.0

Free Tier AI Scans

Growth

Every new user gets 10 trial AI scans and 100 MB of image storage. Photograph a title page, get a complete catalog entry. No credit card required. Fall in love with the scanner before committing to a plan.

Ausgeliefert in 1.2.0

UX Improvements (16 items)

Platform

Infinite scroll, bulk status change, bulk tag assignment, drag-to-reorder contributors, draft recovery, clickable status badges, collection and tag search dropdowns, field validation, external link grouping, and more. Every rough edge from v1.0 polished smooth.

Ausgeliefert in 1.2.0

Server-side Author Sort

Platform

Sorting by author now works across your entire library, not just the page you're looking at. A generated column on every book extracts the first author's sort name from the contributors JSONB. Postgres keeps it in sync automatically — no triggers, no cron jobs, no drift.

Ausgeliefert in 1.2.1

Bulk Image Import Redesign

Cataloging

Action buttons pinned next to the page title instead of hiding below your 200 photos. Subtle phase dots, friendlier copy, bordered preview table. The page now looks like it belongs to the rest of the app.

Ausgeliefert in 1.2.1

Activity Logging & Live Feed

Platform

Your collection now has a memory. Every book added, every edit, every enrichment — tracked and browsable. A personal activity page, a per-book timeline, and a live feed for admins. The provenance of your provenance.

Ausgeliefert in 0.13.0

Image Upload

Cataloging

Drop files or snap photos from your phone. Pinch to zoom, swipe to browse, drag to reorder. Covers sync to every view. Because a book catalog without photographs is just a spreadsheet with pretensions.

Ausgeliefert in 0.24.0

Cover Images

Cataloging

Paste a URL or let Enrich find one. Covers on detail pages, list thumbnails, grid cards. Click to view full-size in a lightbox. Phase 1 of image upload.

Ausgeliefert in 0.12.0

Enrich Everywhere

Data

Enrich on add form, one-click from detail page, auto-trigger via URL parameter. Lookup promoted to main navigation. Data enrichment is now a first-class citizen.

Ausgeliefert in 0.12.0

Sticky Navigation

Platform

Header stays fixed while scrolling. Always one click away from your collection, lookup, or search.

Ausgeliefert in 0.12.0

Mobile Responsiveness

Platform

The entire app now works on screens narrower than a duodecimo. Slide-out menu, compact book cards, touch-friendly everything. The app no longer assumes you own a desk.

Ausgeliefert in 0.23.0

Wiki / Knowledge Base

Website

41 articles across 8 categories, a 150+ term glossary, and reference guides for every format and contributor role. Written for people who read manuals — and written well enough that people who don't might start.

Ausgeliefert in 0.20.0

User Onboarding

Platform

A welcome wizard that asks the right questions, a getting-started checklist that adapts to your profile, and empty pages that actually tell you what to do instead of staring blankly. Because an empty library page shouldn't feel like a dead end.

Ausgeliefert in 0.22.0

Valuation History

Data

Track market value over time. Appraisals, auction results, dealer quotes, insurance valuations — with provenance auto-sync and a value trend chart. A price memory for every book.

Ausgeliefert in 0.15.0

User Management & Detail Pages

Admin

Full user profiles with stats, collections, recent books, support history. Admin notes, status actions, direct email. Sortable list with heat indicators.

Ausgeliefert in 0.12.0

Admin Sidebar Navigation

Admin

Persistent sidebar with icon navigation across all admin pages. Badges for actionable items. No more "Back to Dashboard" ping-pong. Compact on mobile.

Ausgeliefert in 0.12.0

User Onboarding Funnel (Admin View)

Admin

Six steps from "signed up" to "actually uses the platform," tracked per user and aggregated into a conversion funnel. Visible to admins, invisible to you. As intended.

Ausgeliefert in 0.21.0

Tier System & Feature Gating

Platform

Three tiers: Collector (free, always), Collector Pro (€9.99/month), and Dealer (€49/month). Locked features are visible but gated — you can see what you're missing. Subscription-driven: your effective tier is determined by your active Mollie subscription.

Ausgeliefert in 0.14.0

Invite Codes

Platform

Shareable promo codes for bloggers, bookfairs, and friends. Hand someone a code, track who uses it, grant trial days. Marketing without measurement is guesswork.

Ausgeliefert in 0.13.0

Platform Health Score & Checks

Admin

Seven data quality checks sorted worst-first: ISBN filled in? Condition set? Cover photo? The platform now knows where the gaps are — and so do you.

Ausgeliefert in 0.21.0

Collection Audit

Cataloging

Your library, scored. Missing contributors, books without identifiers, provenance gaps, incomplete fields — all surfaced with one-click fixes. "Your collection is 87% complete. These 14 books need attention."

Ausgeliefert in 0.16.0

Subject Classification System

Cataloging

Those cryptic numbers on library spines now have names. Type a Dewey code, see "English fiction." Type a description, find the code. Four systems (DDC, LCC, UDC, NUR), 12,535 entries, and smart matching in Library Lookup that resolves even partial codes to the nearest category.

Ausgeliefert in 0.27.0

BibTeX Export

Data

Export as .bib — the standard for LaTeX, Zotero, Mendeley, and JabRef. Stable citation keys, proper escaping. For collectors with academic habits.

Ausgeliefert in 0.27.0

RIS Export

Data

Export to .ris — the format every reference manager on the planet understands. If BibTeX is for LaTeX people, RIS is for everyone else.

Ausgeliefert in 0.27.0

XML Export

Data

Structured XML export. For when JSON feels too modern and CSV feels too flat.

Ausgeliefert in 0.27.0

SQLite Export

Data

Download your entire collection as a single portable database file. Books, collections, tags, provenance, valuations — nine relational tables with foreign keys intact. Open it in DB Browser, query it with SQL, back it up to a USB stick. Your data, truly yours.

Ausgeliefert in 0.33.0

Newsletter

Growth

Sign up for occasional updates on new features, book trade tips, and the odd literary digression. No spam, no schedule, just news when there's news.

Ausgeliefert in 0.27.0

Bulk Image Import

Cataloging

Drop 500 photos at once. Name each file after its catalog number and Shelvd matches them to your books automatically — preview table, progress bar, duplicate detection, mismatch export. Because photographing 200 books shouldn't mean 200 upload sessions. Dealer only.

Ausgeliefert in 0.27.0

ISBN Barcode Scanner

Cataloging

Point your camera at the barcode like it's 2012 and you're at a self-checkout. Native detection on Chrome, ZBar WASM on Safari — works on phones, laptops, even that dusty webcam. Because apparently typing thirteen digits is "too many digits."

Ausgeliefert in 0.28.0

Admin Storage Tracking

Admin

Per-user storage bars with traffic-light colors (green/amber/red) in the admin panel. Visual progress bars, exact percentages, and a quiet warning when someone hits 90%. The admin now knows who's filling up the disk before the disk fills up.

Ausgeliefert in 0.28.0

Paid Subscriptions

Platform

Upgrade to Collector Pro or Dealer with iDEAL, Bancontact, credit cards, or SEPA direct debit. In-app upgrade, Mollie checkout, auto-renewal, cancellation with grace period, lazy downgrade. Billing tab with payment history. Admin dashboard with MRR tracking, payment history, and one-click refunds.

Ausgeliefert in 0.30.0

Email Change

Platform

Change your email address from Settings. Dual confirmation — both your old and new inbox must verify the change. Because account security shouldn't be an afterthought.

Ausgeliefert in 0.32.0

AI Book Scanning

Cataloging

Photograph a title page — even a 300-year-old one with no ISBN — and get a complete catalog entry. Snap the cover, title page, and colophon; Claude Vision reads the text, cross-references between photos, and pre-fills every field. Five seconds from shutter to structured data. No other book app does this.

Ausgeliefert in 0.32.0

AI Enrich from Photos

Cataloging

Already have photos of your book? Hit AI Enrich and let Claude re-read your title page, cover, and colophon to fill in missing fields. Same AI vision, no re-photographing. One click from the book detail or edit page, results shown in the familiar enrich diff panel where you pick what to keep.

Ausgeliefert in 0.34.0

Pre-Launch UX Polish

Platform

Fifty-one improvements in one weekend. Quick-filter tabs, visual status badges, value averages, date range search, copy-to-clipboard identifiers, collection breadcrumbs, set-as-cover, paste-to-detect links, scan progress indicator, password strength meter, responsive mobile layouts, swipe gestures, and humorous empty states. The version where rough edges became smooth surfaces.

Ausgeliefert in 1.0.0

Fehlt etwas?

Diese Roadmap wird davon geprägt, was Sammler wirklich brauchen - also von den Problemen, auf die wir beim Katalogisieren unserer eigenen Bücher stoßen. Wenn du einen Feature-Wunsch, eine Beschwerde oder eine starke Meinung zu Metadatenstandards hast, hören wir gern davon über unsere Support-Seite. Wir lesen alles. Das ist ein Zwang.

Diese Roadmap zeigt unsere aktuellen Absichten, keine vertraglichen Verpflichtungen. Funktionen können sich durch Nutzerfeedback, technische Einschränkungen oder die Erkenntnis verschieben, dass etwas schwieriger ist als gedacht. Das passiert öfter, als uns lieb ist.
