I was looking through your fantastic app this morning and saw that you used to have a ‘shop’ section and I was wondering why you dispensed with it.
There was an email about it, im sure @BlossomSandwich will elaborate, but i think it was underused

As part of our plan to streamline the Stash Hub app and refocus on our mission to help you fall in love with your stash, we’ve decided to remove the Shops section from Stash Hub.
This means that from Wednesday 24th June, Stash Hub Plus subscribers will no longer have access to the exclusive discounts. This decision doesn’t take away from how much we admire and appreciate all the incredible small businesses we’ve worked with. We’re really grateful to the shops who have supported Stash Hub and offered discounts to our Plus members.

@Frankie445 no worries
We removed a couple of big sections from Stash Hub this year, Shops (discounts) and Marketplace (selling fabrics via eBay). There were a few reasons behind this decision:
- Make the Stash Hub experience more consistent for all our customers internationally. We only had discounts for UK shops and Marketplace only worked for a handful of countries.
- These features were not as well used as we had anticipated - so it made more sense to remove them than spend more time developing them further.
- To reduce our workload as a two-person team, allowing us to focus our energy on parts of the app and activities that support our main goal: to help sewists fall in love with their stashes.
Welcome to Stash Hub @Frankie445, hope you have fun cataloguing your stash! Let us know if you have any questions or need a hand getting started

I don’t need any help adding to my stash 
but a Shops section with links to stores and PDF printing services that I have bought from or may want to buy from would be useful to me. Right now I have these stores bookmarked in my browser but it would be nice to have them in Stash Hub where I can find them easily and add notes, e.g., has great linen, offers 18-lb instead of 20-lb paper, has classes, etc.
@Dachat you could make use of the (newer) Notes area to add your favourite shop details, along with any discount codes. You can easily add hyperlinks 
within the note text too quickly open up to the relevant webpage.
@Dachat do check out the Notes section as suggested by Claire! We had lots of requests from people wanting to add their own shops and that was one of the main use-cases we had in mind when adding Notes. You could create a tag for ‘Shops’ so you can easily filter for those notes. Rich text in the Note field means you can add clickable links to the websites.

Sounds good, will do! I haven’t used the Notes section at all so this will be a good use for it.
