  1. I am loving this! I am an obsessive list-maker and record-keeper, and I've been disappointed with the tools that have been out there so far--spreadsheets that are always out of date, solutions that don't leave me room for personal, non-review comments, etc. Since none of the solutions were perfect, I ended up with records and notes all over the place, with no "definitive" home for my BPAL record-keeping. This is really shaping up to be something special, and as I enter in my stash, I have high hopes that this will be the last place I have to move my stash records to!

     

    May I put in some feature requests? In addition to the wonderful things like the swap matchmaker you're working on, there are a couple of little things that could make the functionality even better.

     

    - I would love it if, in the Stash Manager view, I could change how things are sorted. Sometimes it's easier to see everything alphabetically by scent name; sometimes I'd like to see all the scents I haven't rated at the top of the list. Some of this is accomplished with the other views, I guess (which I just discovered! - in the Clean Cut theme, at least, it's not readily apparent), but I think it could be useful within any of the views.

     

    - Also, one little annoyance I have is that when I update/add a scent, when I'm finished, it takes me back to page 1 of the Stash Manager by default. This is kind of a pain if I'm entering notes for a whole bunch of perfumes on, say, page four, and I have to go back to page 4 again every time I start a new one. I'm wondering if it would make more sense to return to the referring page by default. Or do you think that would be too confusing?

     

    - Importing from a spreadsheet would also be nice, but I imagine that's a tricky feat.

     

    - I can't be the only dork who likes to schedule what BPAL they want to wear. Right now I have a Gcal just for this, and I sometimes use dice roller apps to pick a random scent. I see that randomizing functionality has just been added in, which is exciting, but I would also love a scheduling tool to pair with it!

     

    I hope I'm not being too burdensome by suggesting these features - it's just something I've thought a lot about, and have a lot of ideas about! I do work as a web developer, however, so I might be able to lend a hand to this project - feel free to contact me.
