Hello,

I would like to invite you all to Beta test ArtString, a companion app for museums.

The app is an effort to make better use of museums APIs for audiences, by displaying the pieces to museum visitors in a way that they can add hashtags, start and join conversations, create 'strings' (mini collections, like playlists, of pieces, on whatever theme they wish) and favourite them.

It's suppose to be multi-museum, but right now on beta there's only the Science Museum (because they had the easiest API to work with and were super helpful, yay!). British Museum and V&A are planned to be added to it for the general release.

I can talk about this project for hours and hours, it came out of my MA research on "being bored in museums" and trying to think how could a "input" space exist inside the museum. Please let me know if you would like to talk about it, I'm thankful for any input or feedback.

Thank you!
