What’s new

What’s changed on Crated, newest first. A lot of it comes straight from people’s feedback, so keep it coming.

September 2026

  • Records with no artwork get a sleeve of their own, set in type, instead of a blank square.
  • Pin the exact pressing you own and its sleeve replaces the album’s on your shelf.
  • Discogs imports now run in the background. Your records appear straight away, the details and sleeves fill in over the next few minutes and you can close the tab. A note turns up in your notifications when it’s done.
  • Imports find album covers far more often.
  • The tube layout is now a ring. The grid can loosen up and drift slowly down the page. Both work properly on phones too.
  • A Help page covering the bits that are easy to miss and exactly who can see what.
  • About Crated, a note from me in the account menu with the quickest ways to get in touch.
  • Artist names in other alphabets or written two ways now match properly.
  • A new profile photo shows up straight away, without a reload.
  • Reporting a reply that shouldn’t be there now reaches me so I can act on it.
  • If something breaks, I now hear about it straight away, usually before anyone has to tell me.

August 2026
