I got tired of not knowing details on stuff I own and I wrote an HTML based inventory that I keep on my linux and Windows PC's, and Android tablet and phone. It's handy to have all the facts with me at all times.
You "could" easily write a spreadsheet but, to view a spreadsheet you must have an office suite on every device you want to view / edit the inventory on. HTML works with any browser and a browser is by default available on every mobile and desktop platform.
Looking at the crude file size reduced screenshot, the rows are highlighted in purple as the cursor moves between them and the underlined brand name if wanted goes to a link of the image in the /images folder - directory. It's expandable indefinitely so other serialized articles like home appliances, and guitars etc. are easily added and found whenever needed.
If anyone here understands basic HTML markup language, and would like to make your own PM me and I'll send you the text file.
Oh forgot to mention it's configured for long guns separated from handguns but any number of compartments by genre are easily added.
The HTML has no connection to the outside world, only the device it resides on.
Thanks for the offer, but that is way above my pay grade.

Actually it's not. The fields are all predefined, and all you'd have to do is fill the fields with what goes there. Any simple text editor will handle it. Five minutes looking at the text and you'd have no issues.
Thanks Gary!
Ok I'm starting to think there are to many computer types of here. ;D
If you can read most of this where it's plain English you'd be a geek too :-)

You know I don't have so many firearms that I need a computer to keep track off what I have and if the wife found the list it would cause some strife in my life I don't need ;)
