No. Also Numista is not a program where you click on an installer and install it on your computer, it's a data base with a forum and UI attached to it.
For your little collection you can use one of the countless blogging sites or website creation tools like Square Space etc to built your own web site.
It's small in comparison to millions of data entries Numista's data base is made for.
Mine is very specialised - & I want to create an educational resource about the British Empire & the British Commonwealth through using numismatics in the process.
Adapting Numista for your own use case would certainly be as much work as creating a new website from scratch. I believe the best way would be to store your collection on Numista and build a website using the Numista API. This would still require development from you (or someone else) though. I just found about https://www.numistar.com/ recently, which might be what you are looking for (I didn't try and I have no opinion on it for the moment).

I have a friend who wants to do his own Numista-like program in English, Portuguese, & Spanish to showcase his own collection - especially of Brazilian & Portuguese coins, as he is originally from Brazil, but lives here in New Zealand
In my case, I would be doing mine in English only for the British Empire - & storing the photos in the cloud.
Yes, Numista is a program, which is being cloned to accomodate more languages.

Sorry, but you really don't have a clue. First of all, Numista is not a program, Numista is a website. For this website to run, you'll need specific hardware and software. Second, it is not being cloned to accomodate more languages, the multilingual part is stored in the database. And third, Xavier has been working on this website since 2007. Why would he put up a blank version for everyone to use? Did you already contact Mark Zuckerburg to put up a blank version of Facebook on Fosshub to create your own social network?
What you ask is not only really, really dumb, but also insulting to all the hard work that Xavier put in this website.

It isn't dumb or insulting.
Some of the information about the British Empire, especially in numismatics, is not even being presented correctly - one case in point - Ireland.

Yes, it's both dumb and insulting. If you think you can build a better car than Ferrari, do you ask them for the blueprints? If you think you can bake better bread than your baker, do you ask for the recipe? If you don't see how dumb your question is by now, there is no point in arguing.
I suggest that an admin puts a little lock on this thread.

NOT true!
It isn't my fault that I know more about the British Empire & the British Commonwealth through numismatics - & that I want to see the facts presented correctly - such as the Republic of Ireland being declared on 18 April 1949, not in 1937, as some people claim.
I'm building something focused on specific pain points: better metrics and statistics, improved tracking for large collections, and better ways to visualize your collection data. Using Numista's API and exports means it could easily work alongside or integrate with their platform.
When you have thousands of coins, the current tools get limiting pretty fast. That's what I'm trying to solve — making large collection management actually practical.
@domandrenog & @rodrigo.queiroz , have you thought about cloning Numista, then altering it for your own projects?
Aidan.
Isnt that theft of intellectual property? Not to mention disrespectful to the developers of Numista and all the loyal members who appreciate this wonderful website!
But I’m sure you knew that already, because instead of sending such a message privately, you openly revisit a forum post where everyone disagreed with you and your ideas, for what I can only imagine is to stir up anger or to continue this pointless debate whilst getting your kicks in trying to cause conflict.

Makes no sense "theft of intellectual property" when someone is managing its own data (exporting from a website and importing to another).
I have no intention of making a paralel website, I don't have time for that…
Another point is that I'm using the Numista API, that was made and set public so that anyone can develop a web application using it.
Infact I would say that cloning the website would probably be a breach of the Terms of Use
Section 12.2. Ownership of NUMISTA’s intellectual property rights
The User acknowledges the intellectual property rights of the Operator on the Platform, its components and the contents related to it and waives to contest these rights in any form whatsoever.

Any other use of the Platform and its contents is excluded from the scope of this license and cannot be made without the prior express authorisation of the Operator.
Please just stop dude, you can't just steal/clone/whatever numista's code and alter it just because you linked a wikipedia page of some nonsense. Pay someone to make your website for you or just use numista as intended.
