Has potential
Response from developer
Hi, thank you for your review! You can create a new material type in the „Materials“ tab. After that, the material picker will show it when creating a new filament. I should probably add some info text or create a few default materials to make this more clear. The idea of the app is to create your materials in the app, so you can write the information onto generic NFC tags. You could then stick these NFC tags onto filament samples of the corresponding material. At least that was the original use case I developed it for. If you have more feedback or questions, feel free to reach out to dev@jonasfrey.de.
Nice app. Just what I was looking for. A few suggestions.
1. Give an option to search
2. Give option to group by color/brand or any attribute.
3. Would be great to have an option to add custom attributes to filament. If that is too complicated, having a “notes” attribute will do for now.
4. Make this app open source if not already so others can contribute. I know iOS too :).
5. Add iCloud syncing so swatches are stored across all my devices.
6. Give option to export everything to an excel/svg sheet. Import option would be a bonus too.
7. You made this app very good, please add more functionalities. Having some form of discord server will help share more info.

Hi, thank you for your detailed response. I will see when I have the time to implement those. Regarding the source code, it is already available on my GitHub under https://github.com/iComputerfreak/FilamentSwatchesApp. Feel free to open a pull request if you want to contribute :) Keep in minid though, that I started this app when I was still a student so there is no real architecture behind it right now. I am not sure if a Discord server for only us two would make sense at this point, but if you are interested in contributing, feel free to reach out to me at dev@jonasfrey.de and we can exchange Discord usernames :) Kind regards Jonas
