WHY SHOVROOM EXISTS

Collectors already keep this in spreadsheets, camera rolls and their heads. shoVROOM pulls it into one tidy place:

• →A growing catalogue of real releases — Mini GT, Kaido House, Tarmac, Pop Race, Davis & Giovanni, Amalgam and more — with a page for every model.
• →Your own shelf: what you own, what you paid, what it's worth now, and the notes only you'd write.
• →A wishlist, a rate manager for multi-currency values, and a listing board where collectors show what they'd sell or trade.

Everything you enter is yours. I don’t appraise it, verify it or sell your data — the details are in the fine print.

This is a hobby project by a single founder who collects cars, not a funded company with a team behind it. It’s built in evenings and weekends, it’s in beta, and it will have rough edges. That’s also the good part: it’s made by someone who actually uses it, and feedback goes straight to the person who can act on it.

The AI scan and AI research features — snap a photo, get the model identified and its details filled in — call a paid AI model behind the scenes, which costs real money per scan. So the AI is metered — openly, so you always know where you stand:

• →Every account gets 2 free AI credits to try it out. When they're used up, you can still add and edit everything by hand — only the AI shortcut pauses.
• →There's a shared community pool of 300 AI scans across the whole site. You'll see how much is left; when it's dry, scanning pauses for everyone until I top it up.
• →More credits will be granted in later versions as the project (and the budget) grows.

It’s a deliberate allowance — enough to feel how good the scan is, sized so a one-person project can keep it free for everyone. More comes as the project grows.

The catalogue and the app move fast. The big stuff, most recent first:

Found a bug, want a model or a whole brand added to the catalogue, or just want to talk diecast? Get in touch — a real person (me) reads everything.
