Hey, I built a platform called Artalyr to help artists document their work over time.

The goal is to give artists one place to keep track of their pieces, series, exhibitions, and context, instead of everything being spread across folders, drives, emails, and old websites.

Right now it includes things like:

• artworks and portfolios management

• export to PDF

• control over what’s public vs private

---> artalyr.com

I’m trying to figure out if this is actually useful, so I’d really like to hear:

• How do you document your work right now?

• What do you like / hate about your current setup?

• What is your first impression about the project at this stage?

• What would you want to see (or not see) in a tool like this?

Thank you for your inputs, be it good or bad. It will be helpful in the end.

Have a nice day!

Well done for trawling through that heap of writing! I think if I had a little more time, I could have edited it down to something half as long, with clearer individual points - anyway, you seem to have got through it :)

Anyway, to my mind you're going in the right direction about all of this - I agree with your priorities and appreciate the "documentation first" angle of things.

I'll probably give this a try sooner or later (I'll put a note on my to-do list, so I don't forget it exists) - I think a lot of my questions would be answered by testing it thoroughly, which would also probably generate some more focused feedback. This would of course be useful for me too :)

Anyway, looking great and thank you for sharing it on here :)
