Congrats in launching and getting your product to this stage.

Unfortunately I do not find it too useful. I buy from a lot of places, Amazon represents perhaps 5% of what I buy so your product doesn't add much for me.

Have you considered creating an app which has a barcode scanner which populates the item database? It was my understanding that barcodes were unique to each item. Is there not a way to pull the item name from a barcode?

This seems preferable to having only Amazon or online retailers. Your current solution doesn't do much to help catalogue the hundreds of items laying around my house.

I too think this service, as it stands, is too tightly focussed to be of interest to me. If I want to make notes on stuff I've bought, I'd put them on my personal wiki running on my PC. The advantage of doing it that way is I can use the same system for all my notes on everything, so I don't have to remember/learn/understand lots of separate systems, each no doubt with their own foibles.

Thanks, your feedback is really interesting and I would like to learn more. Can I ask you why do you do keep all of this information associated with your products?

[cabalamat]

I don't for everything I've bought but I do for important stuff, such as computer parts like hard disks (I'll use that info so I know what disks are in what PCs), or for motor insurance (where I will want to renew it periodically).

thanks, that's helpful!

Thanks for joining in. This is a fair point of course. We started with Gmail and Amazon for online purchases and would like to add support for more vendors.

For offline purchases, I agree that barcodes could be a good way to get them into the collection. There are many more ways that we would like to implement, we are just focusing and starting small.
