Where we're going

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

Shipped in 0.1.0

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.

Shipped in 0.25.0

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

Shipped in 0.2.0

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

Shipped in 0.2.0

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.

Shipped in 0.3.0

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

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

Shipped in 0.5.0

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.

Shipped in 0.26.0

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

Shipped in 0.6.0

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

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

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

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

Shipped in 0.8.0

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

Shipped in 0.9.0

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

Shipped in 0.9.0

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

Shipped in 0.9.0

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

Shipped in 0.9.0

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

Shipped in 0.9.0

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

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.

Shipped in 0.11.0

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.

Shipped in 0.24.0

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

Shipped in 0.24.0

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.

Shipped in 1.1.0

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.

Shipped in 1.2.0

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.

Shipped in 1.2.0

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.

Shipped in 1.2.0

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.

Shipped in 1.2.0

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.

Shipped in 1.2.1

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.

Shipped in 1.2.1

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.

Shipped in 0.13.0

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.

Shipped in 0.24.0

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.

Shipped in 0.12.0

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.

Shipped in 0.12.0

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

Shipped in 0.12.0

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.

Shipped in 0.23.0

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.

Shipped in 0.20.0

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.

Shipped in 0.22.0

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.

Shipped in 0.15.0

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

Shipped in 0.12.0

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

Shipped in 0.12.0

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.

Shipped in 0.21.0

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.

Shipped in 0.14.0

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

Shipped in 0.13.0

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.

Shipped in 0.21.0

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."

Shipped in 0.16.0

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.

Shipped in 0.27.0

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

Shipped in 0.27.0

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

Shipped in 0.27.0

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

Shipped in 0.27.0

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.

Shipped in 0.33.0

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.

Shipped in 0.27.0

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.

Shipped in 0.27.0

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."

Shipped in 0.28.0

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.

Shipped in 0.28.0

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.

Shipped in 0.30.0

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.

Shipped in 0.32.0

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.

Shipped in 0.32.0

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.

Shipped in 0.34.0

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.
