Welcome to BirDy
BirDy is a comic management tool. It simply allows you to index the integrality of your collection (album, paraBD, magazine) and manage it (borrowing, statistics) with a fully GUI swing interface.

BirDy is equivalent to :
                   
                    

BirDy was born because I couldn't find any good MacOs X complient software to manage my comic collection. To my mind, the best tool to perform such a management is BDGest' (which costs 30€). However its community happens to be rather Microsoft Windows friendly and only french-speaking. Moreover, BDGest' was developed with Visual Basic language which is neither MacOs nor Linux complient.

BirDy can perform all the inherent operations of comic management software:
  • index the informations of your albums, series, authors, dedications and so on...
  • manage your paraBD objects: ex-libris, figurine, magazine ..etc..
  • view several statistics
  • manage the borrowers who vanish in the nature with your comics
  
BirDy costs nothing, however you are free to make donations. With this money, I will be able to buy a server and then host shared BirDy comic datas.

BirDy is available in french and english.

BirDy can be used with several databases:
  • One$DB
  • HSQLDB
  • MySQL
  • PostGreSQL

BirDy is written in Java and uses technologies like:
  • Hibernate
  • VLDocking
  • JFreeChart
  • Log4j
  • Cobertura
  • ANT
  • IzPack
