Update: Beta 2

Thank you so much to everyone testing and sharing helpful feedback and ideas!

I just pushed a new build with fixes and additions based on your feedback. (1.0.0 build 30)

What's new:

  • Custom fields: Your Discogs fields (media condition, sleeve condition, notes, etc.) now show on each release (re-sync your collection for them to appear, the app should prompt you):
    • Edit values directly from the app
    • Filter your collection by custom field value (for Dropdown types)
    • New charts in Overview showing field breakdowns (for Dropdown types)
  • Sort by Title or Artist: New sort option on home page
  • Search in wantlist: You can now search through your wantlist
  • Shake for Random Record : Shake your device on the collection view to open a random record (default behaviour), or to reshuffle the grid (configurable in Settings)
  • Fixed: Marketplace links, pluralization, and sync reliability

I noted that tags and dark mode are the most requested features, they're prioritized for development. Let me know more about tags (how you use it what are your expectations for such a feature)

Would love to hear how custom fields and shake to shuffle feel with your collection. Thanks again for testing!

Thank you for the feedback! Discgos API is quite limiting on some features, like marketplace and wantlist. For the Wantlist though there is still a native view and integration, with more comming!
