I made a thing (open source inventory app)

General Yo-Yo

I got tired of tracking my yoyo collection in a spreadsheet, so I built an app for it (free, open source)

Once I got past a hundred yoyos the spreadsheet fell apart — there were too many columns, photos were clunky as hell, the “for sale” tab was in some spy code that I don’t remember writing. So I made a web app instead. You can browse as tiles or a list, search and filter, add photos and zoom in, track specs, keep a separate For Sale page, share a single yoyo as its own page or save an image of it to send to someone, import/export CSV, and download full backups.

There’s a demo if you want to click around (no signup): test.daveronica.com. Password demo gets you the editing view, and it’s read-only so you can’t break anything.

It’s free and open source if you’d rather host your own:

Happy to hear what’s confusing or missing.

If there is a desire to see it fully used I can share mine. Just don’t want to break any rules.

Dude, that’s so cool! Great job!
My collection is not yet that huge to need one, but I will definitely prefer to use it in the future!

Very nice! I’m using a spreadsheet atm, but that looks like a more elegant solution.

The addition of purchase and sold dates would be nice.

Nice. I’ve seen a few if these kind of apps over time. I think I almost need like a mobile app to use one myself or a really optimized for mobile web app.

The one thing most apps haven’t had is a way to take a picture and upload it easily for the yoyo which helps when I easily forget which green yoyo is named what lol
