<h2>Overview</h2> <p>WhiskeyMate is designed to adapt to your personal style. Our <strong>Default Setting Management</strong> feature lets you define how the app behaves by default—so adding new bottles, creating collections, or viewing stats align perfectly with your own needs. Whether you prefer a certain volume size for new bottles or want your collections in a specific layout, the power is in your hands.</p> <h2>Key Highlights</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Customized Defaults</strong>: Choose default volume (e.g., 750 ml), grid vs. list view for collections, or a preferred spirit type—so you don’t have to reselect them every time.</li> <li><strong>Seamless Experience</strong>: Save time by letting the app auto-fill fields that rarely change for your usage.</li> <li><strong>Platform-Wide Consistency</strong>: Once set, your preferences apply across the app, maintaining consistency whether you’re adding new bottles or browsing collections.</li> </ul> <h2>Platform Details</h2> <ul> <li><strong>iOS</strong>: <em>Implemented</em> in version 1.0 (released March 1, 2023).</li> <li><strong>Android</strong>: <em>In development</em>, version 1.0 planned for March 1, 2025.</li> <li><strong>Web</strong>: <em>In development</em>, version 1.0 planned for September 1, 2025.</li> </ul> <h2>How to Set Your Preferences</h2> <ol> <li><strong>Go to Profile or Settings</strong>: Look for an icon or menu item labeled <em>Profile</em> or <em>Settings</em> in the main navigation.</li> <li><strong>Open Default Preferences</strong>: You’ll see options like <em>Default Bottle Volume</em>, <em>Default Spirit Type</em>, or <em>Default Collection View</em>.</li> <li><strong>Customize &amp; Save</strong>: Make your selections and tap <em>Save</em>. The app will now use these settings whenever relevant.</li> </ol> <h2>Tips &amp; Best Practices</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Experiment Freely</strong>: If your needs change, update your default settings at any time—adapt as your collection grows.</li> <li><strong>Reduce Repetitive Actions</strong>: Select whichever defaults you typically choose for new bottles or new collections, saving you from constant re-entry.</li> <li><strong>Check Platform Sync</strong>: If you switch devices frequently (e.g., iOS to Web in the future), ensure your preferences are synced with your account.</li> <li><strong>Combine with Premium Features</strong>: If you have multiple collections or plan to scan barcodes in bulk, setting up a default spirit type or volume speeds up the process even more.</li> </ul>
