RusaPen#FountainPen I have a question for you guys! I was wondering if there was an app to keep track of what inks you have. Ideally, it would also have the ability to take and store pics of swatches. I have my physical swatch book but a digital one would be amazing
Erik@RusaPen I think you're looking for https://fpc.ink by @ujh It will let you catalog your inks (you can't upload your own swatches, though), pens, and track what ink is in which pen. Perfectly fine if all you want to do is keep a list of inks.
@RusaPen Yeah, if you're specifically wanting to flip through swatch pictures it won't do the job for you. For me, I've got about 275 different inks and it helps make sure I don't accidentally buy the same one twice.
@edebill oof, I don't have that many. Yet...haha, but yes definitely don't want to buy the same ink twice!
Nibsy@RusaPen Although I'm not aware of a specific app that can do this, a good option might be to develop a simple inventory spreadsheet in, say, LibreOffice Calc, Apple Numbers, or MS Excel. If you needed something a bit more sophisticated, you could develop a relational database in something like mysql, LibreOffice Base, MS Access, or FileMaker Pro.
@inkynibs ooooh, I'll look into that! Thanks!
paradoxmo@RusaPen I think I’ve heard of people using Notion for this. I believe you can embed images in there. Might be worth a look.
@paradoxmo I'll check that out later! Thanks!
Adam@RusaPen I keep all of mine in a plain ol’ spreadsheet, but I think the closest thing I’ve seen to what you want is Notion
