So, here's the thing, I would love to use something like this. This is an area I've been trying to address with various spreadsheets for years along with crudely drawn floorplans. The biggest issue for me, is that whatever solution I go with, MUST export to an editable spreadsheet format (export to XLSX preferred).

For me, this is the type of information I want to export to multiple storage places for backup, and keep a printed copy in my fire safe. Not just in a SaaS. I'm perfectly fine paying for a SaaS service (if reasonably priced, no more than $5/mo for an individual), but I need these export options or I'd never sign up. Holding my data hostage is a non-starter.

I hear you loud and clear! This is the type of information I think everyone should have in their fire safe. The PDF reporting feature I'm working is great for the print it and put it in the fire safe use case. I've also come to learn that many others are interested in spreadsheet exports, too. This is a use case I want to not only support, but also encourage.

I can provide sqlite exports of your data via a support request at any time, additional export options are a priority for my next release cycle. If you want to shoot me an email at daniel@fanara.co, I'd be happy to reach out and let you know when these features go live!

The PDF export feature sounds great - but even something simpler like a CSV, JSON, heck even XML would give others a lot more freedom to handle the data however which they choose.
