HeriBase is an AI-powered companion for coin and banknote collectors. Take or upload photos to identify unfamiliar pieces, explore detailed reference information and estimated value ranges, then save them to organized collections. Track records, groups, and collection progress in one place—whether you are cataloging your first coin or managing a growing collection.
Coin collecting got me thinking about a product design challenge: how do you make a specialized hobby app useful to someone who doesn t yet know the terminology?
A beginner may have a coin they re curious about, but not know its country, year, or denomination. Asking them to fill out a detailed catalog entry could make the first step feel like homework.
My instinct is to start with a photo, let them save a basic record, and introduce more detail as they learn. But simplifying too much could also make the app less useful as their collection grows.
