In the Drake world we live in this should have been called 'Tings'

This is really awesome. I can see myself getting lost for days in this. Really beautiful experience and I just like the idea so much of being able to have one place that I can refer to when I want to know about any thing, rather than have to default to the Google. @dimadewinn When you mention in your comment about "re-creating" things, it made me think about my friend @bhanu's company www.maker.me. What a great way to prompt the makers of all the things around us to contribute their knowledge and story through these two platforms.

@dimadewinn great project is cataloging creation. Wish you the best. @playswithfood indeed. Would be great to see Maker stories behind many of these things.

@dimadewinn Great product! BTW, having mobile app would be a great benefit. Voting mechanism like the one on PH would also give some more engagement and fun.

@alexbabin Thanks for hunting us, Alex! This the very first Alpha, but we have lots of work ahead.

@dimadewinn You're welcome! Happy that Thngs made it to front page

In case you wondered how iPhones start, it is just a touchscreen duct taped to a motherboard. Nothing special — https://thngs.co/things/6751

Hello hunters, I'm Dima Dewinn, co-founder of Thngs, a place for every thing, as we call it, where any thing can be easily found, reviewed, collected, even re-created. Thanks for your up votes! If you have any questions or comments, I kindly ask you to share them with me. I am thrilled to tell you more about Thngs. We are surrounded by things. Each thing is a source of objective information, information about our past, present, and even future. Things are the physical memory of humankind. But things break, get damaged, and disappear over time. The physical preservation of all things is not possible, but we can preserve information that things contain. Saving information about thing, we save the thing itself. For this purpose we made Thngs.

@darshu thanks, Daria! We will send invites in nearest weeks.

@dimadewinn I love *why* you're doing this. I wish you the best of luck in making this vision come true. My favorite hunt in a long time.
Dima Dewinn
In nearest future anyone can add and edit data about things, including files and videos. If any collectors, producers, or enthusiasts want an early bird invite, let me know, please.
Dima Dewinn
@elirousso sure, shoot me an email at dimadewinn@thngs.co please

@dimadewinn Just signed up for the beta on your website but I'll ping you on email as well :)

Great idea to save all these things in one place.
