Planning a binder and printing true-size placeholders for missing cards is a clever idea. Does Pokebinder also distinguish different versions of the same card, like alternate art or reverse holos?
@rui_cheng1 Thanks! Alternate arts, yes. Each one is its own card with its own number, so you can search for it, place it, and print its placeholder separately from the regular version.
Reverse holos, not yet. They share the same card number as the regular print, so PokéBinder treats them as one card for now. I'm planning a Master Set mode that tracks reverse holos and Poké Ball patterns separately and prints the variant name on the placeholder. Soon it will be released. Would you use that?
I don't collect myself, but my niece does, so I will be sharing @Pokébinder with her when I see her next. Best of Luck with the launch.
@codeandsea Thanks, Brent! I hope your niece enjoys it. I'd love to hear what she thinks, since feedback from real collectors helps a lot. 🙂
@vinicius_stevam Will definitely ask her if she is up for it 😊
Looks really cool! I know quite a few people who collect cards of football players, game characters and all sorts of other stuff too.
Would be cool to see something like this beyond Pokémon as well ;)
@illyaponaduse Thanks for the msg!
100% the infra is there; it's just basically integrating the APIs to support a new domain TCGBinder or CollectorsBinder.
Congrats on the launch Vinicius! great to see people still building cool projects instead of most of the ai slop these days. Im a collector myself and loved seeing your launch today, all the best!
@ankushkun Thanks a lot! It means a lot coming from a fellow collector. What do you collect? I collect Scythers (not a very popular Pokémon). If you try PokéBinder, I'd love to hear what's missing or what you'd change.
@vinicius_stevam I love collecting art cards
Pokémon -I love them so much)) You've really made my day
@maria_anosova Thank you, Maria! That made my day too 😄 Who's your favorite Pokémon?
@vinicius_stevam Of course, Pikachu
"the gaps stop being gaps and become a want list" is a great way to put it, and the fact that it came out of a way to include your daughter rather than a spreadsheet-nerd itch is what makes it feel genuine. one question on the Michi-method pages: if someone's custom artwork behind the binder is a different aspect ratio than a standard 3x3 grid, do you crop it or letterbox it, and does that get fiddly for people using odd source images off the internet?
@galdayan Thanks, that means a lot!
It crops. The image fills the whole page and you can pan and zoom to choose which part shows. I picked cropping over letterboxing because empty bars in a binder page look like a mistake once it's printed.
One nice detail: a 3×3 page has almost the same proportions as a single card (5:7). If you use card art, which most people do for Michi pages, it fits with almost no adjustment. Wide wallpapers and odd images from the internet lose their edges, and that's when you need pan and zoom. It takes a few seconds, but a very wide image will always lose part of its sides.
When you print, each pocket gets its own slice of the art at true card size, and pockets with a card on top print the card instead.
