Known Issues

• For each item in your collection you need to specify what version you own. Without this information, there is no size/weight information associated with your collection.
• The BGG xml api is VERY slow.

Future Development

• Add more information to display.
• Better error handling.
• Rudimentary caching.
• Common shelf size selections.
• Web form interface.
• Better asynchronicity.
