Meet other collectors
Groovv opens onto a directory of public collectors - a curated Featured row, then collectors sorted by collection size. Open anyone and their records are right there, as a clean grid or the signature Crate Flick view, so flipping through someone's crate feels like flipping through the real thing.
Every collector gets a profile: avatar, username, a short bio, member-since, record count, and their followers. Follow the ones you rate and you build a network of collectors whose taste you trust. Album art drives a subtle glow on each profile, and scarce pressings wear a gold Rare chip so the gems stand out at a glance.
Are you taste twins?
Taste Match is how Groovv measures the overlap between two collections. When you and another collector own some of the same records, Groovv works out how aligned your taste is - by genre and era - and shows it as a taste-match %.
A label comes with the number. Tap the taste-match pill on any profile to open the Taste Match sheet: your headline %, your label, and how many records, and how many deep cuts, you share.
Some overlap
Kindred crates
Taste twins
The %, the label, and your shared counts are free, enough to feel the spark. Pro opens it up: the records you both own, your Rarest shared, and Records to dig.
Your next record, from a real crate
Records to dig turns a match into a find. It is a personalised list of records a like-minded collector owns and you do not, ranked by how much you collect in those genres.
Discovery that comes from a real collection, not an opaque algorithm. The closer your taste, the better the picks. Records to dig is part of Pro.
Spot the gems in any crate
Groovv flags the scarce pressings, deep cuts, with a gold Rare chip, judged from Discogs worldwide-owner data. It is an instant read on which records in a crate are hard to find.
When you match with someone, Groovv surfaces your Rarest shared: the scarcest pressing you both own. "Only 740 collectors worldwide own this" turns an overlap into a find. Rarest shared is part of Pro.
Private by default.
You choose what is shared.
You are invisible on Groovv until you decide otherwise. Nobody is exposed automatically, going public is a deliberate, opt-in choice.
Private
The default. Not discoverable.
Followers-only
People can find you. Your collection unlocks when they follow.
Public
Listed in the directory for anyone to browse.
You decide what appears, whether your estimated value and Listening Stats show at all. A private or blocked profile looks exactly like "not found", so nothing leaks. Block and report are built in.
Going public in the app is separate from your public web share page. They are two independent switches, each under your control.
