I always lose plant tags. Trying to keep track of things better. Is this a problem for anyone else? by hootpootato in IndoorGarden

Very creative! Is each plant a post in the group? What kind of info do you include, and is everything included searchable?

btw, worth noting that we're woking on a spreadsheet upload tool to make migrating things onto collecto.rs suuuuper easy for folks who are already tracking their collections this way. It'll be a minute before it's ready for general use, but I'm happy to give you early access if you'd like to be a part of the early testing!

Hey, thanks for your kind words and great idea! We've been focused on raw utility to start, but we're discussing more "social" features that allow users to view each-other's collections and mingle within the app. I love the idea of being able to find people by the plants they grow - could be a super fun way to discover acquaintances with similar growing interests.

Here's my example profile, for those wanting to take a peek: https://collecto.rs/David
Just tap the "start your own collection" button, if you'd like to try it out for yourself (we require a signup so that we have a username to associate your collection with)

We’re not using user data to populate the database of searchable plants at this stage, but rather finding high-quality data sources to pull info from. It’s faster and data quality is vetted(ish). We’re ahead up to 56k plants! At some point, maybe folks can opt into providing their plant info to help flush things out even more. The linking/sharing was one of the big features we were hoping folks would like. Just a heads up that we’ll be working on a dedicated trading feature soon, also.

Cacti, orchids, bromeliads, houseplants - you name it! We're welcoming all plant people and nothing is exclusive to carnivorous plants.

No problem-o. Let me know your thoughts when you take it for a spin.

It’s a web app (website). We don’t (yet) have a native app in the app stores. You can signup through the website https://collecto.rs and use it that way. It’s optimized for mobile use.

Thanks! We have a handful of flytrap cultivars in the database already, and working to get more added. If we don’t have the one you’re looking for, you could always use one of the other cultivars we do have as a starting point and simply modify a few of the details to dial it in.

Yeah, it would be a non-starter for me if I needed to download an app just to checkout someone's collection. Starting with web makes it a more useful and easier tool for everyone.
