What's new

Version 1.1.0 · Nov 11, 2026

## BrickDb 1.1 BrickDb 1.1 brings **Brick text**, the **Adventskalender** and a much clearer camera, and makes the collection easier to read. ## What's new - **Brick text (#2716):** turn up to three lines of text into a buildable LEGO® sign, in nine fonts and two building techniques. It comes with a live preview, a parts list you can export to Rebrickable or BrickLink, and a "Can I build it?" check. You also get step-by-step pictures and a printable PDF booklet. Signs can be saved and shared by link. In the apps it works offline. Find it under Your collection › Build › Brick text. - **Adventskalender (#2816):** 24 doors from 1 to 24 December with a daily draw. It has its own address in every language (e.g. /adventskalender, /advent-calendar), a festive section on Home during the season, and an optional daily reminder by push and mail. - **Clear camera status (#2965):** every camera and photo action now shows its progress in one centred card, with a timer, a Cancel button and a clear next step if something goes wrong. Nobody is left wondering whether the app has frozen. Covered: set-box photo, set number, minifigure photo, CMF scanner in all modes, flyers, box photos and photo uploads. - **Camera fixes in the apps:** - The camera starts first time, with no "try again" (#2856). - The set-box photo no longer crashes or freezes when you switch modes (#2924). - The picture comes back after leaving and returning to the app (#2971). - A photo shared into BrickDb from another app is now read (#2957). - **Collection value at a glance (#2966):** the estimated value as a headline, cards for lowest, median and highest price, price paid against value, retail prices per country and a small value curve. The method explanation is one tap away. - **Moving copies between collections (#2966):** select copies, pick the target collection from clear cards, move with one tap, and undo if needed. A single copy can be moved straight from its row. - **Faster set pages:** - The price history is paged on the server, so far less data is loaded (#2945). - If prices can't be loaded, the page now says so and offers a retry (#2954). - **Sharper photo mosaic (#2933):** the uploaded photo is no longer blurry in the crop view. - **Wallpapers without logo** for lock screens (#2851). - **Smaller things:** - A clear "Kein Zugriff" (no access) page instead of "not found". - No more broken pictures for parts and magazine covers we don't hold. - KiSebA's attribution window in the privacy policy. - Clearer terms on automated access. ## Under the hood - **More resilient API:** photo thumbnails are processed with a memory limit, so a burst of photos can't take the site down (#2968). - **Faster first photo identification:** the photo-reading service stays warm (#2972). - **Errors fixed from Sentry:** one change per cause (#2958). - **Scrapers:** protection against automated scraping at the edge, and pagers that can't be crawled endlessly (#2935). ## For administrators - **Bulk actions** for book editions, event-source candidates, price quarantine and content reports, up to 200 at a time and fully audited (#2936). - **"View the platform as of a date"** to preview the Adventskalender and other dated features (#2909). - **Press:** a test send to the team; German contacts get the German mail. - **Video scripts:** for the Adventskalender and Brick text, with a TikTok link field.
