Say goodbye to the hassle of managing your sticker collections manually. Stickers not also maintains your missing, duplicate and reserved sticker lists, but it also makes swapping a breeze!

Hello all 👋, After being repeatedly tasked by my 8-year-old son to swap his stickers with other parents during football practice… I decided to build an that would help me streamline that process. Stickers is that app, and it has some unique features that address the pain points I identified during these swapping sessions. • Sticker Scanning: Quickly scan stickers to easily add newly bought stickers or check if you are missing any of the duplicates another collector has. • Live Swap: Swap with nearby users over Wi-Fi. The app will precisely indicate which of your duplicates the other user is missing and vice versa, eliminating the need to sift through your album or paper notes. • Reserved Stickers: Either because someone texted you that they’re missing some stickers you have, or because you made a swap but didn’t have your duplicates with you. You can mark stickers as reserved and never break a promise. • Custom Albums: This year, my son’s football academy made their own sticker album with all the athletes. No other app allow for creating custom albums, so I built that option into Stickers. Users can start any album for free, but will be asked for $0.99 when they have completed around 30% of each collection to continue adding stickers to it.

congratulations on the launch of stickers, paulo. it’s clear how this could simplify the process for many parents and collectors. i’m curious, how does the sticker scanning feature differentiate between very similar stickers, and are there any plans to implement this technology for other collectible items in the future?

@mashy hey Albert, you must scan the sticker number in the back of the sticker. The app does some error correction based on the current album’s sticker list to account for similar characters. This is specially important in albums where the sticker number actually contains letters (like the Euro 2024 album). The app focuses on sticker albums but it works fine for other collectibles. Right now you can already start collecting some Match Attax (cards) collections. I hope to add more collectibles depending on demand.
