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 (which should happen next month).
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 a
"input" space could 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!
