I’ve been a member of Eurobricks since 2009 (hard to believe it’s been that long!), and over the years, this community has been my go-to for inspiration, and deep-dive discussions. Today, I’m incredibly excited to share a project I’ve been building over the last few months that was directly inspired by our collective obsession with this hobby. It’s a web platform called SetShelf.com. As my own collection grew, I realized I wanted a tool that went beyond just checking a box to say I owned a set, ant other sets did not meet all my needs. I wanted something that allowed for deep organization, clear data visualization, and flexible workflows for managing my physical and digital shelves. I built Set Shelf to solve those exact pain points. Here are a few features that are already live and active on the site: Custom User-Defined Tagging: You aren't locked into rigid categories, and you won't hit an arbitrary ceiling on how many tags you can use just when you're getting your inventory organized. You can tag, sort, and organize your collection exactly how your brain works (by display status, storage location, theme, etc.) without hitting artificial limits. The "Part Out Buddy" Tool: Ideal for when you buy a bulk lot and are trying to pull out the exact pieces needed to complete a specific set. This workflow streamlines the matching process, making it way easier to hunt through bulk inventory and track your progress without cluttering your main collection data. Set Condition Workflows: Built-in tracking to manage the lifecycle of your sets, whether they are MISB, built on display, or broken down in storage bins. Data & Trend Visualization: I’m a huge fan of hobby data, so the platform includes custom charts and visual analytics to look at your collection's composition, color shifts, and historical trends over time. See https://setshelf.com/help for screen shots and more details. Robust Inventory Import/Export: Moving to a new platform shouldn't mean manually re-entering hundreds of sets. SetShelf supports easy bulk data handling so you can bring your existing collection data with you or back it up whenever you want. LEGO Color Timeline & Trend Analytics: I’m fascinated by how the system's colors have evolved. The platform includes custom charting that handles everything from the explosion of pastel hues in the late '90s to the great 2004 palette overhaul (the retirement of classic Light/Dark Gray and Brown for the modern Bluish Grays and Reddish Brown). You can actually visualize your own collection's color distribution shifts across generations. Why I’m sharing this here: The site is just about ready to go fully live, but before it does, I want to get it in front of the most passionate LEGO fans I know. I would love for my fellow Eurobricks members to take it for a spin. I’m looking for honest, constructive feedback. What features are missing? What details would make this your ultimate tracking companion? Check it out at SetShelf.com. Registration is open, and I’d be incredibly grateful if you'd create an account, click around, and let me know what you think. Thank you all for the incredible community, inspiration, and encouragement over the years. Happy building! Some screen shots:
