You can now submit multiple pieces of gear at once

The submission form now lets you add multiple items from a single source in one go!

Many of us have experienced the pain - you find a rig rundown or an Instagram post with five pieces of gear in it, and getting them all onto the artist's Equipboard meant running the whole form five times, copy/pasting your notes, tweaking a word here and there. A pain in the ass, honestly. This has been one of the most-needed changes to the site for a long time.

It was a tricky one to get right. Every submission on Equipboard is its own thing - its own notes, its own context, its own quality rating from the community - and we didn't want to water that down just to make the form faster. We think we landed on a flow that keeps all of that intact:

  • Add as many items as you spot from one source - each still becomes its own submission with its own page and its own quality rating, exactly like before
  • Per-item everything - notes, usage context (live / studio / demo), and album tags are set individually for each piece of gear
  • "Copy notes from previous item" carries your write-up to the next item and even swaps in the new gear's name, so you're editing instead of retyping
  • Filled-out items collapse into a compact card as you add the next one, so the form stays clean even with a big haul
  • Your work saves as a draft as you type - accidentally close the tab and you can pick up right where you left off
  • One review step at the end - our Equipbot suggests a polished version of each note, and you pick your version or its version per item (or edit further)

It's live now! Just start a submission like usual and hit "Add more gear from this source."

We're eager to hear how it feels in the wild. If something's confusing, broken, or could be better, reply here. We've already been iterating on it and will keep at it.

If I was in Texas right now, I'd buy you a beer.

I've gotten so used to copying the notes from one submission, pasting into the next and changing the item name in what I've pasted that it's almost automatic now, but actually automatic is so much better.

Many thanks!
