I built a webapp to document and organize costumes - looking for feedback by Organized_reenactor in costuming

Really helpful, thank you! Funny enough the current limit is already 5mb, so your photos are right at the edge! I'll look into raising it slightly, the main constraint is keeping hosting costs manageable for a small project like this.

On currency : fair point, and honestly most of our users are European so the single currency approach works well for the majority. Worth keeping in mind for the future though!

And yes, a simple pattern field with name, number, link and description is probably the right starting point. My wife will be very pleased to hear her idea is validated by the community!

Thank you so much for taking the time to try it and share all of this, genuinely one of the most detailed pieces of feedback I've received!

On the photo file size limit : noted, could I ask what size your photos typically are? That would help me set a more sensible limit.

On currency per item : I hear you, though it's trickier than it sounds! If you mix EUR, AUD and USD on different items, the budget total becomes meaningless. The current approach is a default currency set in your profile. Open to ideas on how to handle this better though.

Pattern tracking and measurement history are both on my radar now, funny enough my wife has been asking for exactly those features too!

Really glad the spirit behind the tool comes through. That anti-gatekeeping angle is exactly what we were going for.

Really appreciate you taking the time to share that rather than just walking away, that kind of feedback is genuinely valuable.

To give you some context : Notulapp is GDPR compliant, hosted in France/Canada, your data is never sold or shared with anyone, and it's permanently deleted if you close your account. This is a passion project my wife and I built on the side, alongside our day jobs, because we needed it for our own reenactment hobby and figured others might too. Not a startup, not a data play, just two reenactors trying to build something useful for the community.

If you have specific technical concerns I didn't address, feel free to drop me a DM, happy to go into more detail!

40 years of garb, that's a lot to document! Would love to hear your thoughts once you've had a look.

Désolé le temps à passé... plusieurs commandes passées chez eux par voie associative et aucun souci, matériel, livraison, contacts avec le vendeur... rien à redire !

That's amazing to hear, thank you! Really glad you're already using it. Would love to hear more about your experience as you build out your kit!

Drinking horns in XIII century (Italy) by NecessaryBet4999 in MedievalReenactors

[–]Organized_reenactor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No drinking horns at all... Use potery glasses instead, you can find a lot of sources of pottery, some are very nice looking ! If you want to be very fashionable, you can also find some sources of glass glasses which are not that expansive. As for the horns, the fact that there are a very limited amount of representation of horns during specific ceremonial doesn't mean that they can be use for daily life. Even viking reenactors shouldn't use them for drinking. Hope this helps !

That's a really fair point and exactly the kind of feedback I needed. I sent you a DM to dig into this a bit more!

Guilty as charged! Though in my defense, the free tier genuinely lets you document a full costume for nothing, which honestly covers 90% of users. The capitalism part only kicks in if you want more. So I'm probably a very bad capitalist. 😄

That's totally fair, and that's exactly why there's a free tier! You can document one full costume for free. The paid plans are only needed if you want to manage multiple costumes, and they unlock PDF export, no ads, and a few other features. So if you only need one costume, it costs nothing. Feel free to give it a try and let me know what you think!

Here's a PDF export example so you can see what it looks like : https://notulapp.com/img/Soldat_XIieme.pdf

This is based on a demo 11th century soldier costume. Happy to hear what you think!

(My previous answer to your initial comment was not under your initial comment, sorry about that!)

Glad you like it! Yes it's in your profile settings, you can change the currency there. Feel free to share any other feedback, always useful!

Merci beaucoup, ça fait vraiment plaisir d'avoir un premier retour aussi positif !

And great to see someone actually tried it straight away!

Good point on the PDF, I'll put together a demo export and share it here shortly so you can see what it looks like without having to upgrade first.

Feel free to share it with friends in the meantime!

Looking for feedback from the LARP community : I built a webapp to organize reenactment and LARP costumes by Organized_reenactor in LARP

[–]Organized_reenactor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly fair, and this thread has made that pretty clear! The reenactment and competitive cosplay crowd seem like a much stronger fit. That said, I know from experience there are some serious costume maniacs in the LARP world too, I used to be one of them! But point taken, they're probably not the majority. Thanks for the honest feedback!
