TLDR: clickstitch.app - suggestions and feedback would be amazing!

Hey guys, as the title suggests I’ve been working on a cross-stitching app project the last couple months.

The idea behind it is to mark stitches as complete as you go, then it will give you an idea of how much progress you have made (stitches complete, stitches remaining, % complete).

Currently, there are a few patterns that are supported but I’m assuming most of you would want to load your own, so let me know if this is true!

I’m also thinking a method of also tracking the threads you currently own and whether you have the needed colours/amounts for new projects.

Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions! Thanks all!

    One thing that I always feel is missing from Pattern Keeper (because let’s face it your app is definitely going to get compared to Pattern Keeper) is the ability to “goto” a particular colour. Like if I’m working on a big pattern, and I’ve been disorganised as per usual, and now I only have 10 stitches of an awkward colour but they’re all spread around, it can be hard to spot them. Being able to just auto zoom from one to the other would be awesome.

    That might be a completely unachievable feature but just thought I’d throw it out there!

      I see what you mean, I think what you’re describing is pretty much what I used to do in Excel where you can search cells for a particular background colour and you could jump between them.

      That’s an awesome suggestion, so I’ll definitely look into adding that!

    If you want to show the number of stitches complete/remaining/% , I’d kind of like to be able to see that per colour of floss I’m stitching.

    I like to stitch one colour at a time, so I’d definitely be looking for something like that. Maybe being able to see a pie chart of the colours involved would be pretty cool too.

      I do the same! At the moment, you can see the completed/remaining per colour whilst stitching. There is an analytics page which needs some love, so having pie charts per colour is a great idea, thanks!

    You should definitely check out Cross Stitch Saga on iOS. It does exactly this and also works with backstitch, half stitch and quarter stitch etc. been using it exclusively for stitching the last year and I can’t imagine going back to pdf or paper!

      Thanks I’ll check it out! I’ve seen a couple of mobile apps like this, but wanted to create something that was cross platform. The one you mentioned looks really cool though so I’ll definitely be taking a look!
