Hey guys, I'm a part time web developer, and was looking to see if there'd be an appetite for a website for cataloguing your collections?

This site would be Irish Currency only, to begin with, and if it takes off, I could implement it for other nations.

The basic functionality would involve people creating an account, and adding notes to their collections,
#1 to have an accurate representation of their collections in 1 place,
#2 a place to upload imagery of their notes,
#3 a place to see where there might be gaps in their collection,
and finally #4, a place where deals could be struck with other members to trade/sell notes.

I have an implementation of this already up and running for my collection, but would need a lot of work to continue, so I would need to garner some interest before I take the time to develop further.

Thanks,

Bill

Interesting idea and could be the basis for collectors to buy, sell or swap notes of choice. However, I doubt that collectors would wish to display their entire collection online in this manner. Then again, I may be just too old school when it comes to harnessing new technology

Security is always my top priority, and there'd be ways to have your own usernames (anonymous or otherwise). I guess escrow could be an option for those who have large collections and worried about their identities being known etc... I do find quite a bit of reluctance to technology in my everyday life, but I'm sure there could be a nice balance here to be had. I have quite the collection myself, and wouldn't like my own identity being linked to that... I may as well get working on it, and see how it pans out.

Interesting idea, I had considered doing something similar myself a while back but never did.
What technologies are you using? Is it cloud based or deployed locally?

@gaelicyoda, Imagery can be taken with a phone, scanner and uploaded to the website. I have a local version working away right now, but not all of the features implemented. Could be an opportunity for Mac to put up guide prices, but have an opt-in charge to display those prices. Would be possible to save on publishing costs etc. Just food for thought.

Hey @billyf1, just wondering after all this time... how did you get on here? Did you end up getting any traction with your implementation?
