Thank you so much for your reply!! Going through it ATM.

Edit:

Thanks a lot for taking the time to look through it and for such a detailed reply, this is exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping for.

You’re totally right about the “no real system” issue. That’s basically the whole reason this exists. The PDF export came directly from that need to have something you can actually keep, archive, or send around without depending on a platform forever.

The long-term stability concern is 100% fair. I know artists are cautious about committing their documentation to a new tool, and data ownership / exportability are things I’m treating as non-negotiable. I also need to do a better job explaining that upfront.

On direction: the focus right now is very much documentation first, not discovery or social. I’m deliberately trying to avoid building “just another portfolio site” and instead aim for something closer to a personal archive of practice - works, series, exhibitions, notes, context, etc. The idea of linking all of that together is very much where I want this to go.

You’re also right that it’s hard to judge without concrete examples. I’m planning to add short videos to show the actual workflow and how the app is meant to be used. That should make things a lot clearer.

On hosting: the data is currently in the U.S. I don’t really care about politics in general, but given the current situation, I’ve realized this is something I can’t just ignore. I’m Canadian myself, and I’m actively considering other hosting options as the platform evolves.

If you’re curious, I’d genuinely encourage you to register and try documenting a few works, even just as a test. There’s a built-in feedback feature in the app, so anything you notice or think about, you can send directly to me from there.

Thanks again, seriously, your feedback is excellent and very much appreciated.
