Welcome to Thingdango (codename: Catalog My Stuff) 2007.

Thingdango is a site where you can inventory your possessions. This personal database can be leveraged into other uses. One use is an easy way to put items on ebay or craigslist. Another use is to allow friends to view a subset of items for borrowing.

Look at the mock-up front page.
Look at the mock-up item add/edit page.

Download the source with git clone http://donpark.org/src/git/catmystuff' .

Design Principles:
Off-load as much functionality as possible.

Use the Thingdango servers for metadata storage and delivery of the html/js. Image storage on flickr or similar. Image retrieval on flickr or similar. Something that supports openid/oauth would be best. Login with OpenID. Use a document-database like couchdb or ruby document db (rddb).

Openid for signin.
