Sets
A Set is a collection of Things that you frequently use together. They serve as reusable groupings of items for specific purposes, and a single Thing can be used across multiple Sets. Whether it’s a travel kit, a photography setup, a camping pack, or an everyday essentials collection, Sets help you quickly assemble and track the gear you need, as well as offer an outlet to get creative with!

- Monitor Weight for Portability – If you care about travel or backpack weight, use Sets to calculate total load.
- Leverage Categories – Things in a Set are grouped by category to quickly assess what’s included (e.g., "Cooking" in a camping Set).
