Thanks dgmx5 Yes I have used custodian before, I like their UI but the uploading process is quite painful. I probably spent 1hr just for 1 year worth of paperwork, so I give up... You are absolutely right, linking all indie garages & dealer history is the most ideal scenario & that's what I...

If there is a platform helping you to layout all the history & receipts chronologically on the screen, wouldn't it be better to read through?

This is amazing, but that's you putting in the effort to make it work. What if there is one platform can help all car owners to achieve this level of archive with minimum effort? Would you support this?

Exactly my point to Phil as above, if we can build something to help every car owners to achieve this level of archive, isn't it valuable?

Catman on above mentioned possible fake service paperwork, I think you are having the same concern I presume. However being digital or not won't fully solve this problem at the moment. But if all the service history on this platform is 'verified', you wouldbe happy to use it?

If you are worried about a fake paperwork, it would happen with physical receipts as well if people really tried...? You are right that the new digital system wouldn't solve this problem 100％, but probably I am not trying to solve this one. This problem exists despite of if it's in physical...

ve very similar to my status...

Thanks Montravia Are you serious or just being sarcastic...? I am not sure...

Woooow Mark, this is amazing! So you built this prototype for all your personal data not only for cars? I have been thinking about using OCR AI packages to automatically read data from the upload, either a photo or a pdf, and only allow minor changes from the car owner to correct mis-read. How...

Yes you can, but how much effort does it need to falsify a physical "fake paperwork" - I presume quite a lot? If the effort overweight the benefit, not sure why many people would do it?

Great question Scaf! The data in your scanned pdf are "dark data". But wouldn't it be much better if we can leverage these data to help car owners? Once we have make them "live", we can do some amazing things like: Auto reminder for your MOT/ service Rate history to get discount for...

Thanks c4sman, this is also my own painpoint! So I have been thinking about adding a functionality of blocking personal info when car owners are uploading their receipts. Therefore the remaining record in this platform is purely related to this car, so your hard-saved receipts won't disappear...

Great work Devon! I thought about doing this myself previously. But would it be much better if we can leverage these data to help car owners? Storing everything in excel & pdf meaning these data are "dark". Once we have make them "live", we can do some amazing things like: Auto reminder for...

Thanks Catman To avoid fake history, I have been thinking about all the data must be backed up by a photo. Therefore it's much harder to falsify a photo and I don't think the cost benefit makes sense for the falsifying? Plenty of platform are using photo as "source of truth", so I hope this...
