New Development Sneak PeekMarch 1st, 2010 - I've finally gotten something that looks half way decent and works! Check out the new menu item for the 'Dev Sneek Peek' on the left. Once the application launches, click on the help button for instructions. The Sneak Peek allows you to select the publisher, enter a partial title and perform a serach against the 'demo' data that I have loaded. Please let me know what you think by sending feedback to the development team WelcomeWelcome to the Comic Book UPC Code Database, the free and community contributed database where you can search on UPC codes and get the Title and Issue number for your comic books. Why would I want to look up a UPC if I already have the comic book you ask? Today most comic book collection software solutions make you enter individual Titles and then add your Issues. Some solutions use Internet databases to make the process go faster. And some solutions not only make you buy their software but also pay for regular updates to the data they provide. The process is often less than perfect and a frustrating one with users experiencing data errors and software limitations. If your collection is large, this can quickly become a cumbersome and daunting task. The goal of comicbookUPC.com is to provide a programmatic interface to comic book collection software, which allows the user to scan in the UPC code of a comic book and completely automate the data entry of the Title and Issue information. In addition as a side effect we hope to standardize how issue numbers are specified for variants, multiple printings, annuals and the like. Project StatusCurrently the site is under development, but check the comicbookUPCdb blog frequently to get updates on the project status. Additionally, if you would like to be notified when the beta is posted click the Beta Notification menu item on the left. We hope to have a beta in place soon. If interested in helping out, please contact the development team. |
