HOLD ON

You already own Saga #1 — the 2nd printing, bought March 2019.

This scan is the 1st printing, so it's a different item. Add it anyway, or walk away.

Fill the gaps?

Image lookup answered two days late. It only offers to fill fields you left empty — nothing you typed can be overwritten.

WHY THESE

Every field is indexed, including notes and individual tracks — so the subtitle tells you which one matched. Tokens narrow; typing never has to.

34pt over halftone. This is the identity and it should never be replaced — it just stops working below about 20pt, which is what the column on the right is for.

WHY THIS ONE COUNTS INSTEAD

A duplicate coin is a number, not a new object. So there's no lending log and no sell screen here — you don't lend one stamp out of a sheet.

Six months. Worth it — she made me a tape back.

THE HONEST SUMMARY

Good for records, bad for board games. Catan never came back — he bought you a new one instead.

Message Jeff

Lend him something

Done. 128 records, 96 with cover art, 41 with a price you paid. Nothing was marked confirmed — it's all yours to check whenever.

STILL SEARCHABLE

Archived items still answer “did I ever own this?” when you scan something in a shop — which is the whole point of keeping them.

SPINNING A SCAN

LIDAR

{{ c.k }}

{{ m.k }}

Eighteen angles already spins convincingly. The scan is built on your phone — nothing is uploaded to make it.

SAID PLAINLY, ON PAGE ONE

This is an owner's inventory, not a professional appraisal. Every figure names its source and its date, so an assessor can check the ones that matter.

CSV too

THE RULE THIS SHELF RUNS ON

Both of you see everything. Every object still belongs to exactly one of you — that's what makes moving out survivable.

IF ONE OF YOU LEAVES

Split the shelf

Two collections, drawn along the owner tags you've been keeping all along. The nine disputed objects are the only conversation you actually need to have.

Draft a split

Invite a third

Big title, dot grid, no chevron — nothing is behind it.

The title shrinks into the bar, back becomes a round sticker, and the bar keeps its 2.5px rule instead of blurring.

Same geometry, inverted ink. Item detail and capture use this one; the tab bar hides itself here.

Close, not Back — a modal is its own world, so leaving it takes the whole world with it. Step two of the same flow shows ‹ Back on the left and keeps Close nowhere.

WHY THE MIDDLE ONE IS ROUND

Four tabs take you somewhere; the shutter opens over wherever you already are. Different shape because it does a different thing.

NO SIGNAL IN THIS BASEMENT

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN BARS COME BACK

The four lookups run, then ask before filling anything — same as they would have down here. Whatever you typed in the meantime wins.

THE HONEST BIT

An app that only tracks what people owe you is a nice mirror. Two years with Anne's Coltrane is the record you'd rather not have — and exactly the one worth keeping.

{{ f.k }}

One sticker, one shadow, no dot grid. At this height the grid reads as dirt.

{{ v.k }}

{{ v.note }}

WHAT THE TEST BROKE

The language survives both, on three conditions: dense lists trade 2.5px borders and shadows for hairline dividers and a single accent stripe; tiny surfaces get one sticker and no dot grid; and the web page needs the fonts self-hosted, so the palette and the borders carry the identity when Bricolage hasn't loaded.

MY VOTE

B. Three destinations is the honest count, and “Out” is the only word that covers lent, borrowed, listed and sold at once — the four states where an object isn't simply on your shelf.

MY VOTE

E. Shelf · Find · Scan · Activity · You. Find is the one tab all three audiences open on day one and still open in year five — the casual owner asks “do I have this”, the hobbyist filters, the hardcore collector runs saved queries. Market lives inside Activity until the sell business earns its own slot.

WHAT NEVER MOVES

{{ w.glyph }}

{{ w.why }}

STILL A CHOICE, THOUGH

Customisation isn't a way out of picking a default. Every profile still ships E underneath — Shelf · Find · Scan · Activity · You — because that's the bar people who never open settings will live with forever. This screen exists for the 5% who will, and it's buried in settings where it belongs.

FOURTEEN TYPES · ONE ROW EACH

The same row,
fourteen
vocabularies

Every type maps its own words onto three slots — title, subtitle, year — then adds a grade and the two fields its collectors actually quote. The row never changes shape.

WHERE YOUR TYPE GOES NEXT

Custom types are just YAML we didn't write yet. If forty people build “Synthesisers” and agree on the same five fields, that's the next one we ship — with a lookup provider attached and their fields kept.

THE PROMISE THAT MAKES IT WORTH DOING

When your proposal ships as a real type, your 31 objects migrate into it and keep every value you typed. A proposal that costs you your own data isn't a favour — it's a tax.

WHY IT'S A COLLECTION, NOT A LIST

A wanted object has the same type and the same fields as an owned one — so the day it arrives, you flip one switch and it's on the shelf with its history intact.

WHAT THIS NEEDS UNDERNEATH

A search index nobody's shelf lives in. An object enters it when its owner marks it available and leaves the moment they don't — so the index is a list of offers, not a copy of everyone's library.
