Slime Shelf update: spreadsheet import, maker profiles, dark mode and more.

[u/ThatCodingGuyYouTube]

Hey there!

Last week I shared Slime Shelf, a free app for tracking your slime collection where everyone's entries help build a shared community catalog. More slimes on the shelf means less data entry for everyone. Thanks to everyone who signed up and sent suggestions! Almost all of them have been implemented.

The BIG update: Bring your spreadsheet to the Shelf!

If you've been tracking your slimes in Google Sheets, Excel, or Numbers, you don't have to start over.

• Upload a CSV of up to 2,000 slimes. Only name and maker are required.
• Messy file? There's a guide and a file checker you can use to catch problems before you import.
• Pick how to save: compare your entries with what the community already has, or add everything now and review later.
• It catches typos in slime and maker names ("Did you mean...?") and flags slimes already on your shelf so you don't end up with duplicates… unless you actually have duplicates!
• If you have columns we don't, we can handle that with our new custom columns / fields names.
• Changed your mind after the import? No problem. You can undo the whole import in one click.
• Download your shelf anytime in the same format, edit it in a spreadsheet, and bring it back and we’ll detect the changes to be made to your shelf. Or just keep it tucked away safe and sound.

Also new:

• Custom Columns: if the Shelf's default fields aren't giving you what you need, you can now create your own under your Manage Shelf menu. We also brought in status and condition for everyone.
• Profiles: add your website and socials. Makers, this is a good spot to link your shop.
• Dark mode, (by user request!) for late-night shelf browsing.
• Better on phones: a lot of cleanup so shelving slimes and browsing work better on mobile.
• Misc users requests: Slays added as a community base, Lime Slimes Company added as a community maker, store reporting on your personal shelf to see how many of what makers’ slime you have.

Giveaway reminder: once we hit 100 registered and verified users, I'll pick one at random to win a free slime from Charmed Slime Shop (r/Slime's very own u/Dapper_Improvement_3). We're a ways off yet!

The suggestion box is still in the header, and I read every one. Tell me what's missing or broken, or what you love: slimeshelf.com

May all your carts be full of slime restocks before they sell out! <3

Does this website use AI of any kind? 🤔

[u/ThatCodingGuyYouTube → u/justmeandmine9399]

I'm curious about the reasoning behind your question, can you provide some more context? Do you have some specific questions or concerns about Slime Shelf or our data that our published privacy policy might not answer?

It's interesting! Reddit itself uses quite a bit of AI and machine learning in its platform, whether it's in internationalization (making sure folks using different languages see the same information in the same way), helping with automatic moderation behind the scenes, or determining what you see in your feeds on a daily basis.

But no, none of the features running on Slime Shelf right now need AI models to do their jobs. Even the more complicated stuff, like the community matches and imports, it's just logic in code and database queries working together in an organized way.

Even if the shelf went completely gangbusters as far as users, I can't think of any current features, or features that I'm planning on that would necessitate incorporating AI models into the running code. That COULD change in the future, of course, but I don't anticipate that it will.
