The main difference is the (optional) level of detail that TheyMadeThat has over Makerbase:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;makerbase.co&#x2F;m&#x2F;171236&#x2F;janl" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;makerbase.co&#x2F;m&#x2F;171236&#x2F;janl</a><p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theymadethat.com&#x2F;people&#x2F;jan-lehnardt" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theymadethat.com&#x2F;people&#x2F;jan-lehnardt</a><p>There&#x27;s more than just his picture and a listing of what he&#x27;s built.<p>This gets really apparent once you dig down into the details of what he&#x27;s built:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;makerbase.co&#x2F;p&#x2F;38o67a&#x2F;couchdb" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;makerbase.co&#x2F;p&#x2F;38o67a&#x2F;couchdb</a><p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theymadethat.com&#x2F;things&#x2F;apache-couchdb" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theymadethat.com&#x2F;things&#x2F;apache-couchdb</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;makerbase.co&#x2F;p&#x2F;uz051b&#x2F;couchbase" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;makerbase.co&#x2F;p&#x2F;uz051b&#x2F;couchbase</a><p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theymadethat.com&#x2F;things&#x2F;couchbase-server" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theymadethat.com&#x2F;things&#x2F;couchbase-server</a><p>Unlike Makerbase which just features a sentence, a picture, and a list of people; TheyMadethat has version &#x2F; evolution history as well as predecessors and successors (of the thing).<p>There&#x27;s more that I&#x27;ll try to show later, like additional details that people can enter on a project by project basis that is unique per person.
