The insurance company asked him for a detailed list of everything stolen — serial numbers, purchase dates, estimated values. He couldn't remember half of it and ended up getting a fraction of what he lost.</p> <p>That stuck with me. I went home and thought — if my place burned down tonight, what would I tell my insurer? I had no idea.</p> <p>So I built something to fix that. It's a simple home inventory app where you can:</p> <ul> <li>Log all your belongings room by room</li> <li>Store serial numbers and purchase dates</li> <li>Get an AI estimate of current resale value</li> <li>Take a photo and it auto-identifies the item</li> <li>Export a proper insurance report as a PDF</li> </ul> <p>It takes about 10 minutes to catalogue your most valuable stuff and it could save you thousands if something goes wrong.</p> <p>I'd love honest feedback from anyone willing to try it — what's missing, what's confusing, what would make you actually use it day to day. Free to try, no card needed.</p> <p>Happy to share the link in the comments if anyone wants it.</p> showdev productivity
