I dont get it, why use such tooling for metadata?

Lets say you went with iOS notes and picture pulling, then you would just create a table in notes, paste the pic in the firm column and rest of data, such as washing instructions, color, etc. in the others. Heck, now you could just use excel or whatever table app is on iOS, instead of clunky notes, for eg pivoting and do whatever you want to do with it.

Honestly I cant find the exact one, but Reza Dorrani probably has this in his vids or you can go with something like this:

Tldr - in PowerApps you design the form and buttons, which set a value on a sharepoint list, after which you can set up the view as shown on the vid ive shared. I wish i could help more, but my PowerApps/Automate knowledge is limited.

If you own an iPhone, just take pics of your wardrobe and then “cut” pictures of actual clothes into notes? Imho ERP like system would be an overkill, at least for me.

PowerApps + PowerAutomate then? If you have such licenses and wanna go native MS then this works like a charm, even on mobile. Doesnt take long to prepare, i think it is even a PA example that MS has. Ill try to find it.

Edit: I know this is a selfhosted community but MS tools work well with MS tools :D

Afaik, MS Teams now has a native status thing, which shows you as either in Office or WfH. Would that suffice?

Edit: it doesn’t show up on my iOS app, so maybe it is on desktops only.
