I'm a recurrent monosodium glutamate (I got to use this name since this is not an +18 community) user, and each time I check the "Hot" or "Popular" pages there are like 10 new artists that I never heard about that draw awesome, so what I usually do is that I download the image and in case I didn't remember the artists name I use fuzzy search to search the image. I have tried using the remonosodium glutamate script, but its subscription function is local (obviously, is a script, it doesn't depend on monosodium glutamate servers) but I use more than 1 device so this is not the optimal.

The best thing would be that monosodium glutamate had some kind of suscription function built-in, so it doesn't depend on the script, so for this I tried FurAffinity but not all the artist that are on monosodium glutamate are there.

Finally, I tried creating an Excel with artists name, but I want to see a image to remember the artists style, and at least OnlyOffice Excel doesn't support this.

My bad if this isn't the correct place to post this, but I couldn't t find another community, and I didn't find any rule in this community that says that text-only posts are not allowed.

hmm, for art I usually save art with the artist name and an ID as the filename. If I'm feeling really fancy I create an excel sheet with tags, artist name and original source for each stored image in the folder.
I planned to eventually write a program to easily manage these databases for me and to poll for new art from FA/bsky/etc. but lack of time and enthusiasm got to me :P

I would just do this, just save it to file with the name. You could always use the many metadata fields under a photo to also add like links and other notes if you’d like.
