We are building local (Baltics) marketplace for teambuilding events.

Ever since I took on teamlead responsibilities in my daily job, it's been a recurring challenge to organize fun and engaging activities for a team. Providers are usually small businesses, so they all handle enquires, booking and payments to the best of their ability. That usually means exhausting back and forth to get and compare multiple offers.

Instead, we provide curated list of activity providers to choose from, and then handle communication, invoicing and disputes\returns, if needed.

We have got overwhelmingly good feedback from HRs, responsible for team event bookings, and now trying to grow vendors to launch publicly.

Regarding heating - I live in cold climate. We had average daily temperature of -10c this january, with multiple lows at -25c, and most nights at -15c. The house is 116sqm. Our heatpump COP for that month was above 2, and we used 787kWh total to heat the house, which is not a lot, actually. At 15 cents per kWh it is 118 euros for heating, for the coldest month in a decade! Considering also that we do not pay for electricity since april until october (solar panels).

We also paid less than those houses which use natural gas, wood pellets, etc. We also do not need to do anything to keep house warm. Also, during summer months we could "drive for free" in EV due to free solar electricity.

All that just to counter your take on "major quality of life and activity time shifting trade-offs".

Also a nitpick, but there are profanities on your landing page and it kinda puts me off.

In short, it is an asset management system tailored specifically for collectors.

Evy is an app for collectors, both professional and casual, to help them keep track of their items and share it with the world. Currently there are either overly complex inventory management systems, which are overkill for casual collectors, or generic social platforms, which are "fine" for everything, but great for nothing. My goal with Evy is to fill this gap by offering an easy way for any collector to manage their items.

I am excited to finally share a little tool I have been building for some time.

I have been collecting stuff since I was a kid and wanted such tool to exist for a long time. I have used Excel sheets and notes to manage my ever-growing keyboard collection, but eventually decided that it is time to turn that into an app. This first version covers only basic features which I want to use myself.

In the future I plan to focus on social aspects of an app and steer the projects towards social platform for collector communities.

I'd love you to try it out and share your thoughts on the idea.

You can sign-in with email demo@evy.app to see some dummy data inside the app. You can also check-out my keyboard collection at https://evy.app/minajevs/keebs

I am working on a free app to host, manage and share your hobbies or collections.

I have an extensive collection of mechanichal keyboards, and I often struggle to find photos when talking about it, to keep track of pending orders and keeping a stock of stuff. So this is app comes from my own necessity :)

.NET Analyzers spawning processes, especially in an elevated environment. Pausing builds for 100ms for non-paying users. Silently leaking millions of user emails.

That all seems much dirtier than core-js drama.
