plamotrack moves every kit through a six-stage pipeline. The Home page is your command centre — it shows what’s on the bench, what’s waiting, what’s in the mail, and what you’ve finished recently. Everything updates the moment you change a kit’s status, so the page always reflects the state of your actual collection.

​
The six stages

Every kit you track lives in exactly one of these stages at any given time: “Backlog” means physically in your hands but not yet started. plamotrack is unapologetic about this.

​
The Home page

The Home page divides your collection into four sections, each designed to answer a specific question at a glance. On the bench shows every kit currently in Building status. Each card displays the kit’s start date, a running day counter, and your most recent build note. If a build is taking longer than expected, you’ll know exactly how long. Backlog and Recently completed each show the six most recent kits, with the total count displayed beside the heading. Both sections include a “view all” link that opens the full filtered list — so if you have 47 kits in backlog, you’re never pretending otherwise. In the mail shows all your outstanding orders — pre-ordered, ordered, and in-transit — as order cards. Each card shows the retailer, carrier, and tracking number (once the order ships). This is the money still in flight.

​
Moving a kit

Every card on the Home page has an edit button that opens a dialog where you can change the kit’s status. There is no drag-and-drop — plamotrack replaced a board-style layout that stopped being useful somewhere around fifty kits. The dialog approach travels with the dates a move should carry, so nothing slips through. The dialog shows the fields relevant to that particular move:
  • Moving to Building asks for a build start date.
  • Moving to Complete asks for a build completion date and a rating.
You can backdate both — log the box when you find the time, not the moment it lands.

​
Filtering and browsing

The list pages — Kits, Orders, and others — support filtering, sorting, and pagination entirely through URL parameters. This means you can bookmark any view you use regularly:
  • All kits in backlog
  • Orders from a specific retailer
  • Completed builds in a particular series
Shareable, bookmarkable, and always up to date.
Complete builds carry a start date, finish date, rating (1–5), and a series name you choose yourself. Series names become filters — “all Iron-Blooded Orphans builds” is a real query. Consistent spelling matters, so check your existing series names before adding a new one.
