<< Happy Birthday, MyThings! (and Yumio) | Home | New Layout! >>

New Toolbar!

You may have noticed the homepage is featuring something new - the MyThings Toolbar. What you may not have noticed is how tremendously handy it is.

Here's how it works - You download the toolbar:



Which will look like this on your browser. Then here's what you do

1. Buy something online. Anything, Anywhere.

2. When you get to the order confirmation page, click on Save Receipt.

3. We'll take a screenshot and get the basic info, then you can fill in anything we miss.

4. A PDF of the order confirmation page will automatically get downloaded to your Things I Own.

This is absolutely the easiest way to keep track of every receipt for every online purchase... and this is only the first version.

We're very very very excited about it and hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

I usually don't like toolbars (unneccesary clutter on the browser IMHO) but you've twisted my arm I'll have to give this a go. I like the idea of a single click add in from a receipt. I'm now just wondering if I can go to old/past online order pages and see if it works.

I like that you can add multiple products from a single receipt. Not too good at detecting the name of the products etc (tried it on Amazon orders and scan.co.uk). But impressive for a first version and will be a great time saver.

Awesome - I'm so glad you like it. Hopefully in future versions it'll scrape the page a lot better and we'll be able to add an image automatically as well.

Well it never even crossed my mind you'd do a toolbar so it's all a bonus as far as I'm concerned. I look forward to the future versions.

It's why I always now recommend mythings, even if there's something not quite right or missing, you're always seen to be improving and adding features (which is more than can be said for your competitors ;) ).
