Q: I really would like the option to re-organize the items saved.
Without that, we're basically looking at a fancy way to display bookmarks. Re-organizing items IS the way we all structure and deliver content, it is not linear in order of the saves..
I also think you NEED a way to filter searches. Help me and the users I share these collections to easily AND fast navigate to specific categories somehow. In other words, a filter system that can sit on top of the current scroll mode.
It is disappointing that video links do not parse.. Not a deal breaker, but would make for a visually more powerful Collecta, IMHO.
Your sample page is very fast, I liked that.
Can these collections be embedded? I think I saw this an an option but on your site I cannot find details on it.
The limit of 500 items saved per month is small, especially if one needs to use Collecta for a research project.
Last, is there a way to export a collection, even as a CSV of LINKS? I ask because if your server goes down, our collections go too...

May 29, 2024A: Hey! Thanks so much for all the feedback! Allow me to address some of it.
Reorganizing is something that's been asked before actually! Please feel free to create a feature request (https://collecta.space/feedback), I feel like this would be a great addition honestly. But I'll need to figure out how to pick a difference between showing artifacts in chronological view vs custom order. Opened for suggestions!
When you say filter searches, what do you have in mind? Is this something like combining search term with specific collections that you have? Or only searching through images, etc?
Speaking of the videos, collections embed, and CSV export—it's one of those things I'd ask you to create a feature request for :) Videos are definitely on my mind, requires some further thinking however. Ideally videos aren't stored on Collecta (can get pretty expensive pretty fast). So some further thinking is needed!
Speaking of the 500 monthly artifacts limit—honestly, nobody has broke that number in a month yet, not even I. My thinking is this: if this becomes a common trend, I'll just raise the limit for everyone and raise the upgrade price for future new users. If this is a rare occasion, depending on the volume, please reach out and we'll be able to sort this out. Maybe it's an additional monthly fee. I'm honestly not sure yet, but I'm here to help!
I hope this is helpful! Like I said, Collecta's feedback page is the best place to talk through these things, so please welcome https://collecta.space/feedback!
