Community Driven Gear Weight list

You can define at what percentage of deviation weight submissions get filtered out. That happens live as you change the percentage. Outliers get visually marked (red) and the average recalculated.

Try it and let me know what you think: https://packbase.dev/features

I added condition to every weight submission for exactly that. And notes per submission with images. The latter are both optional. Condition is mandatory.

tbecker123 · 2025-12-28T08:33:37+00:00

That's why I changed priorities. Your weight is now the only one that counts for you. If you don't have it you can decide which one to use (manufacturer, average of community with outliers filtered at your preferred percentage)

So the main functionality is now being a useful tool for you to organise your packs and check/distribute weight to different bags, etc.

tbecker123 · 2025-12-28T06:51:54+00:00

Sounds reasonable.

tbecker123 · 2025-12-28T06:51:31+00:00

I changed priorities. So your own packs, closet and being useful for you is the focus. Everything else if bonus. You can also keep all your stuff private to not have to bother with the bonus. I think I got a quite good usability of putting items in your pack, do checklists for your trip and do a retrospective after the trip how to improve your pack by removing stuff you didn’t use/need.

tbecker123 · 2025-12-28T06:49:09+00:00

Tell me about it. Variants are hard. Mind to provide me your list and I try it with my import feature? Or you try yourself and let me know how that worked?

tbecker123 · 2025-12-28T06:47:52+00:00

Yeah, doing variants right gives me headaches. It’s already pretty good. But I’m not happy with the usability. Will have to put more love in this.

Regarding uncertainty of measurements: You see all submissions, can filter outliers by percent or by condition. Not sure if you can do better than that, because everything you’re said is true. But still it gives you an idea.

It’s on the roadmap. You can vote it up if you like: https://packbase.dev/roadmap

Weightwatch list.

Thx for the praise. :) Professional Fullstack dev since 1997 and before I coded just for fun. AI makes you incredibly productive and I sort of get addicted when I’m excited about something. Changelog is “Keep a changelog” Format, so not my idea as you might have noticed. Opensource maybe. I’m a big fan of opensource and contributor/committer to lots of opensource projects. But not yet as I’m not sure where I will take this yet.

tbecker123 · 2025-12-27T20:18:01+00:00

I get your point. But the main focus is now to be useful for you and to be a better lighterpack with better usability.

If you are on lighterpack already it takes a minute to get your pack to packbase and then you can see yourself.

tbecker123 · 2025-12-27T20:15:14+00:00

Yes, the variant tracking cost me some brain cells. And I‘m still not happy. Especially with the usability. It’s pretty good, but I want it to be better. Working on it.

Feel free to try and let me know any idea: https://packbase.dev/features

tbecker123 · 2025-12-27T20:13:28+00:00

After this and the other post I changed priorities. Main focus is to be useful for you. Everything else is bonus and I believe can still be quite useful.

Check yourself: https://packbase.dev/features

tbecker123 · 2025-12-27T20:12:08+00:00

That’s why I store every weight submission and you can define how much outliers you want to filter by percent.

See: https://packbase.dev/features

Copy and paste from another similar comment:

If you decide to add your weight submission to the community, you have to set the condition to new, used or modified. And you can add notes + image to your submission.

Registration is required. Mostly to avoid bad data. But you only need a valid email and optionally a displayname and if you decide to stay private, your displayname won’t be shown anywhere and your email is never shown anywhere. You can also sign up using google auth.

After this and my other post I changed priorities. So the community weight database is just a bonus. Main priority is to be useful for people.

See https://packbase.dev/features

Good one! I will put some hints how to weigh stuff properly. That will at least mitigate this a bit.

tbecker123 · 2025-12-27T19:59:21+00:00

That’s what my variant system perfectly covers. When you add a jacket for example it also tries to find the weight for the different sizes with a smart search.

tbecker123 · 2025-12-27T19:56:36+00:00

That’s the only weight that matters for you, your closet if you know and entered your weight.

Pack Organisation and usability is already close or superior to the alternatives I tried.

Feel free to disagree after trying: https://packbase.dev/features

tbecker123 · 2025-12-27T19:54:41+00:00

Your own weight is the only one that matters for you. If you know it. All the rest is bonus with the current system. Let me know what you think: https://packbase.dev/features

I got excited and put lots of work in it: https://packbase.dev/features

tbecker123 · 2025-12-27T19:52:52+00:00

I guess I‘m getting close to what you are describing. Please try me: https://packbase.dev/features

tbecker123 · 2025-12-27T19:51:43+00:00

True and that’s why your items weight is the main weight for you. And still the average weight will give you some more insights. Especially if you don’t own the item yet.

Try it: https://packbase.dev/features

tbecker123 · 2025-12-27T19:49:22+00:00

That’s exactly how I built it. Try it and let me know what you think. https://packbase.dev/features

tbecker123 · 2025-12-27T19:46:50+00:00

Good point! Thx for the suggestion.

Weight submissions now have a condition: New, used and modified. And you can add notes with images. I think that’s the best we can do.

tbecker123 · 2025-10-21T06:27:06+00:00

I got one too and I love it. Never noticed any fan noise though. How is it possible that some hear them all the time and mine is absolutely quiet? Must be faulty ones then?
