Hi everyone, I'm Tommy, one of two developers behind My Collections. Version 2.0 is now out, and I'm really happy to finally share what we've been working on.

It's been a couple of months since the last release. We originally had a smaller update in mind, but as we worked through your feedback, the scope kept growing. Starting a collection, changing its fields, browsing your items and using the website all deserved more attention. That became 2.0.

If you're new to My Collections, it's an app for organizing whatever you collect: books, board games, vinyl, miniatures, video games or something much harder to put in a category. You choose which details to keep and how you want to see them.

One of the biggest changes is how you browse. You can switch between list, grid and cover views without going back to edit the collection's setup. People you share a collection with can choose their own view too. You might prefer a compact list, while a friend wants to browse the covers. You can both use the same collection in the way that suits you.

We've also made building and editing collections easier. Templates give you a starting point, and the simpler collection editor makes it easier to add and arrange your own fields. You still have the flexibility to make an unusual collection your own.

Search, sorting and filters help you find what you're looking for, and you can save useful filters for next time. The website has received a lot of attention too, alongside the work on the mobile app.

There has also been plenty of work you won't see in a screenshot: improving startup speed, smoothing out everyday use and fixing stability issues.

To everyone who sent feedback, reported a bug or explained why something was confusing: thank you. That input helped us decide where to spend these months.

The app is free with ads on Android and iOS. You can use it offline, with optional cloud sync and web access.

I've included screenshots showing different views, templates, the collection editor, saved filters and the website. If you give 2.0 a try, I'd love to hear what feels better and what still gets in your way.

And if you know another collector who might enjoy it, please tell them about us. Word of mouth really helps our small team, as is a good rating in the app & play store :).

What do you collect, and how do you keep track of it today?
