A gem, maybe...
For the price, it's a steal.
The idea is great, and Igor, its creator, is a very proactive person who responds to every email and tries to create something that could be fantastic. However, as I have communicated to Igor, there are still many bugs to fix. Fundamental features like being able to save screenshots on the fly are missing, and it seems that the Windows version is currently "on hold." The extension is so "minimalist" that it lacks basic functions.
The idea of one person being responsible for improving Collecta is romantic, nice and cute, but it causes some concern (Igor can't specify dates for making improvements). Regrettably, I have to give it 3 stars, even though I love the underlying idea.
I will keep my purchase as a future investment (although, for now, it's like a lottery ticket with some potential where you don't know if you'll win the prize or lose it all).

This is fair, as a single person behind Collecta I physically can't promise rich platform support, or provide estimates. I do take bug reports seriously and instantly jump into it to fix things. I share progress in https://collecta.space/changelog & emails, and new feature requests & bug reports can be created in https://collecta.space/feedback.
I try to keep things as transparent as possible however, and while in the similar space, I won't be able to quickly offer as great of experience as more established & funded products like mymind, Cosmos.so, Are.na, or Raindrop do for a monthly fee. I want this to be a different offer, so this'll take time.
That said, thank you for keeping the lottery ticket ;-) Please keep an eye on Collecta, hopefully I'll change your mind soon.
Best,
Igor
