I have about 400 records. I scrobble everything to Last.fm, and music runs through everything I do - vinyl, Tidal, Roon, all of it. But I had no way to cross-reference what I own with what I actually listen to. Which records do I play? Which ones haven't left the shelf in two years? No tool answered that. I wrote a small script to pull both datasets and link them. The results were embarrassing. Records I thought I loved, never played. Others I'd forgotten I owned, played constantly. That script became VinylScape. As I used it, the missing pieces kept piling up: - What is my collection worth today, and what did I actually pay for each record? - I want that album but not at any price. Can I set a target and get alerted when it drops? - When crate digging, do I already own this? Is the price fair? Pulling up Discogs was too slow. I needed a barcode scan that answered all of it instantly. - Friends come over with their records. I couldn't scrobble a guest record without permanently adding it to my collection. I needed a loaner mode. Each itch became a feature. Six months later it's a proper app with real users, and I'm still building things I wish existed.
