About this
If you own a printer, you already field the same messages: what colours do you have, could you print this, is there any of the grey left. The answers live in your head and on a shelf, and the questions arrive in four different chat apps.
This is that arrangement, written down. You catalogue what you own once. You send one link to the people who keep asking. They browse what is actually on the shelf and ask for a print, and you get a proper history instead of a thread you have to scroll back through.
What it will not do
These are decisions, not things still on a list somewhere.
- Your friends never make an account
- No password, no profile, no confirmation email asking them to join anything. They open the link you sent, pick the colours they like, and describe the print. They get their own page to follow along, and they can message you back on it.
- Nothing here has a price on it
- There is no payment step, no currency, no invoice and no plan to add one. This is the arrangement you already have with your friends, written down — not a shop.
- Nobody can browse their way to your shelf
- There is no directory and no search. A library is private until you publish it, and when you do, the recommended link is a random one that cannot be guessed. Unpublish it and the old link stops resolving immediately.
- You can see the whole history
- Every request keeps its own thread: what was asked for, which spools it needs, what you said, and the photos you attached as it went from accepted to printing to ready.
Who it is for
One person with a printer and a shelf of filament, and the handful of friends who ask them for things. It is not built to scale past that, and the things that would make it scale — accounts for everyone, a public directory, payments — are the things it deliberately leaves out.
