What it does

People can add a find by name and collection, browse their book, and change its look in Settings. After signing in, they can save photos privately Built for It’s for collectors who want to keep track of the things they collect..

What a real user taught us

When someone tried my app, they said it would be helpful to have more background options to choose from. I learned that collectors want to make their books feel more personal.

A safety issue we fixed

I made photo finds private to the signed-in account, and shared finds don’t show the owner’s location.

What we would build next

I’d add more background choices so collectors can make their books feel more like their own.
