The Feed, Profile Tabs & a Monthly Digest

See what the collectors you follow have been adding, find new ones by search or QR code, and get a digest of the month by email.

A Feed of What Others Are Collecting

Following a collector was a one-way street: you followed them, and then never heard from them again. The Feed closes that loop.

  • Everything in one timelinethe Feed sits in your dashboard and shows what the people you follow have been doing with their public collections, newest first.
  • Grouped when it should bea collector who adds fifteen records in one sitting appears once, as a single entry, rather than fifteen times in a row.
  • One addition stays itselfwhen a group holds a single item, it renders as that item, with its picture and its title, instead of a summary of one thing.
  • Read as far back as you likethe Feed is a historical view rather than a live ticker, so scrolling back through a quiet month works the same as reading a busy one.
  • Finding People to Follow

    A feed is only as good as the people in it, so finding them is part of the same screen.

  • Search for collectors by namepeople search sits in the Feed's header, so you can look someone up without knowing their handle or typing a URL by hand.
  • Scan a QR code to followpoint your camera at another collector's profile code and land straight on their page, which is the quickest way to swap profiles at a meet or a fair.
  • An empty feed points somewhereif you are not following anyone yet, the Feed hands you the search rather than telling you to go and find someone.
  • Your Profile, in Tabs

    A profile was one long scroll, with followers and following hidden behind small pills that took you off the page entirely.

  • Four tabs, one pageCollections, Followers, Following and Badges are tabs, and moving between them keeps the profile header exactly where it is.
  • Counts on the tabs themselveseach tab carries its own count, so how many people follow a collector is visible before you open anything.
  • Every badge, not the first fewthe Badges tab shows the full set instead of a strip cut off at four.
  • A Monthly Digest by Email

    Once a month, a short email covers what you would otherwise only see by opening the app.

  • From people you followthe month's activity from the collectors you follow, summarized rather than listed one by one.
  • Your own monthwhat you added, and where your collections stand now.
