Roadmap · updated September 2026

Nine pockets,three horizons.

Pokébinder is free to use and has no ads or account. This page is the whole plan — what is built, what is being worked on, and what is still only an idea.

The path

One person builds this in evenings, so the list stays short on purpose. Anything that does not make a binder page better waits.

Shipped

Just shipped

  • Binder view: a real page curl on desktop, one page per swipe on phones
  • Full-page art with cards on top, and moving cards by tap on a phone — even across pages
  • Mark what you own, print only the missing cards on A4 or US Letter, and find the rest on Cardmarket or TCGplayer

Working on

Faster search + listen hard to feedback

  • Our own card index, so search stays fast when the card APIs are busy — with artist search for Japanese cards
  • Mark cards owned or missing straight from search results, and tap a card to see it large in the binder view
  • Fixes and small improvements driven by what you tell us

Membership & page sizes

  • Optional membership: save several binders in the cloud and share one by link
  • Other page sizes — 4-pocket and 16-pocket binders, not only 3×3. Printing stays at real card size
  • Credit the artist behind the artwork you add
  • Only after the free local experience feels solid

Cloud save

Binders stay in your browser today. Cloud save, when it ships, will be part of an optional Trainer PRO membership — what the site does today stays free to use locally. The first 100 members who pay and stay a month get a permanent founder number. Joining this list does not reserve a number; it is earned after one paid month, not at signup.

What it costs to run

Small, and worth being specific about — "support the project" means nothing if nobody says what the money is for.

Card data

The free API is unreliable enough that steadier card data is the first thing tips would buy.

Domain & hosting

The domain is renewed yearly. Hosting is free at this size and stops being free if the site grows.

Time

Evenings and weekends. Tips do not buy time, but they make the other two stop being a reason to say no.

Three ways to help, cheapest first

Nothing here unlocks a feature — there is nothing locked. Two of the three cost you nothing, and the money one is last on purpose.

01

Tell a collector, or tell me

Free

One person who finds this useful is worth more than a tip. Feedback is the other half: what broke, what printed wrong, what you expected to be there.

Unblocks: the next thing I build being the right one.

Send feedback
02

Buy a card through the binder

Free to you

The cart on a card opens Cardmarket or TCGplayer. Some of those are affiliate links: the price is the same as going direct, and the link always points at the card you clicked.

Unblocks: the running costs, without anyone paying extra.

03

Coffee, or an ETH address

Your call

Entirely optional. Pokébinder works the same either way, and tips are not a subscription in disguise.

Unblocks: the domain staying renewed, and card data that answers every time instead of most of the time.

Buy me a coffee

Ethereum (ETH)

Public address only. Never share a private key.
