Problem Statement
Collectors and hoarders own lots of things in some single category, and often need an application that helps organize and keep track of the things they own. Organizing a large collection can be tricky and nontrivial, especially if said collection was not well organized from the start. There is currently no quick, simple way to organize and keep track of one's collection in a mobile, intuitive way that is easily generalizable to all categories and objects. Most collection organizers rely on recall, as opposed to recognition, causing many collectors to accidentally purchase duplicates of an item. The problem is compounded when a group instead of an individual is managing a collection, or an inventory, where communicating via objects could be through descriptions or through visual aids. This application aims to allow users to view and organize their entire collection on the go.
