Scope & Purpose | | | |
|---|
Coverage & Focus | Built for keyboards, keysets, and artisans, with detailed pages and collection tracking | Focused on keysets, especially where and when to buy them through vendor and timing visibility | Focused on a simple web view of artisan data from Google Docs table-style listings |
|---|
Data Management | Moves beyond artisan Google Docs into a fully managed database that now covers artisans, keyboards, and keysets | A Firebase-backed app that modernizes keyset tracking beyond a spreadsheet workflow | Document-based, manually maintained across shared Google Docs |

Experience & Maintenance | | | |
|---|
User Interface | Modern, responsive design optimized for collectors | A good simpler UI with lightweight drawer-based information | Static site with minimal interaction |
|---|
Image Support | Rich, high-quality images to showcase keysets, artisans, and keyboard variants | Smaller preview images that keep the browsing layout compact | Limited preview images only |
|---|
Editing Access | Edit instantly through an intuitive web interface | Site content is actively curated by editors for keyset listings | Requires GitHub PRs with unpredictable approval times |

Public Codebase Activity | Actively evolving across the full collector workflow | Its public GitHub repository shows older visible commits, with the latest listed from 4 years ago | Longtime without major feature updates, mainly relying on a daily cronjob to refresh the database |
