I built a card collection management app because spreadsheets weren’t cutting it anymore

I’ve been building a side project called Wax Cache, a collection management app for trading card collectors.

The problem I kept running into was simple: I had cards in boxes, spreadsheets, photos, eBay listings, and random notes, but no clean way to actually manage the collection like a real inventory system.

So I started building something that lets collectors organize cards into digital boxes, track what they have, know where it is physically, and share parts of their collection with a simple public link.

Here’s an example public box link from my own collection:

https://app.waxcache.com/b/pc

The long-term goal is to make it feel less like “another card scanner app” and more like an actual CMS / inventory system for collectors. Boxes, locations, QR codes, public collection links, pricing, analytics, and eventually smoother selling tools.

It’s still early, but I’m proud of how far it’s come. I’d love feedback from other builders on the idea, positioning, landing experience, or anything that feels confusing.

Would you understand what this is within the first few seconds of clicking the link?

I wanted an easier way to show people my card collection without bringing it with me

So I built it 🤷🏼‍♂️

This is one of my public box links:

The idea is basically: instead of lugging cards around or sending a bunch of photos, I can just send one link to friends, family, or even my LCS
