New MLP collector site. New Question
« on: September 27, 2018, 05:49:37 AM »
Hi All,

So after a loooong hiatus I finally have a new MLP collector site live.  Its not quite ready for sign ups yet but feel free to take a look here https://mylittleponycollection.com/ Its still a work in progress so there may be some broken pages :blush:

My real question is would you use this site to track your collection and want list.
I'm planning to add functionality to allow you to add ponies to your collection ("Herd"), create a Wishlist, and "favorite" ponies. Is this something that you would use? Are there other features that you would like to see?
I'm just looking for general constructive feedback.  Any constructive comments you have are helpful.  This would be a resource for fellow Arena members and any other mlp collectors.

Thank you :)

Sounds like a great idea!
I find one of the most fun parts of collecting is the cataloguing, I have been looking for a site like this for a while. I always forget what ponies I am after too (theres that darn many) so a wanted feature would be awesome too! I don't know how possible it would be but maybe if you had a pony on a wish list, lets say Baby fifi for example a notification could be sent to you if someone was selling that pony? You could make a for sale list or something then the two people would negotiate the sale between themselves?  :lovey:
EDIT: forgot too add, the little stats about the most popular etc are cool :D

Absolutely! I love checklists and ways to keep track of my collection.
The site isn't loading for me right now but I'll check it out when I'm off campus wifi.

Got the site to load!
Would you be able to add ponies to multiple groups? Of course, if you do or not depends on if you want your site to be an ID of some sorts. Like, Peachy isn't generally included with the CP ponies, but if someone is new to collecting and looks for her under that group, they might be confused. Other than that, I like how clean the site looks! Do you plan to add accessories, as well?

I'd be totally into shifting my use of a database to track accessories more than ponies. I <3 <3 <3 MLPMerch with <3 <3 <3 and whipped cream on top as being the "now and up-and-coming" and current checklist because they feature the most recent generation to the line, so that is a niche well filled in my life. A checklist of "vintage accessories" to complete sets, tho....

If you do accessories I'd be game  :D

I think a checklist is a great idea. It's something that a lot of people would get really good use out of, especially the ability to use to track collections.

I have only looked at the G1 section, because it's the only section I know enough about to comment! LOL :) f I have one constructive suggestion, it's geographical.

It would be helpful to to move away from the binary sense that ponies are US or European. That disincludes a lot of collectors and makes it confusing for many more, because of how ponies were actually sold. It is a big job to figure out where each pony was actually sold, so it would probably be less work to just take away the regional aspect.

Also Europe isn't a country. That kind of made me uncomfortable ;)

One other suggestion, purely cosmetic - is there a way to make either a search system viable or a way to get more easily between sets?

This sounds amazing! I've been looking for somewhere i can keep track of my hoard for ages! (I do have a notebook, but I loose it that often I like to think that it has legs.)

I feel like geography is an important aspect and should be kept.  My suggestion would be to break it down by country, i.e. if a pony was sold in the US, Canada, Australia, and Germany, all those countries are listed.  However, since that could ended up quite cluttered, I would also suggest hiding it under something akin to the "spoiler" tag used on the Arena.

Like:

Country:
Spoiler
United States, France, Italy

As far as knowing which ponies were sold where, start with the info we know and then add other information as it becomes available.  Like we know the 2nd set of So Soft ponies were sold in the US and Canada (afaik), so start by listing those two countries and then if we later find out for sure they were sold in Italy, add Italy at that point.

Maybe do a "country info" update on a monthly or even quarterly basis, because otherwise it might be quite the PITA, ha ha.

Silly Taf. Everyone knows Europe is a city. I mean I'm sure we all paid attention in geometry class.
