I would like to shamelessly submit PartsBox.io (https://partsbox.io/) as a solution to keep track of your components once you start designing & building something.

It's free for Hobbyists/Makers with single-user access, multi-user access is in paid plans.

Hi jwr, I have been considering adding a section with Partsbox.io and Partkeepr but have been hesitating because I don't have any personal experience with them yet. But given I got this review from a redditor I should probably add it: https://www.reddit.com/r/electronics/comments/5oc84d/a_curat...

On a side note I would love to pick your brain sometime about starting a business in this area as I am considering the avenues for turning my project sharing site https://kitnic.it into one.

Well, try it your self and see if you like it :-)

As for brain picking, no problem, please contact me directly — I will gladly talk to a fellow entrepreneur.

I _have_ checked out the web interface a bit and it seemed really nice. I think the main problem for me is the time investment required to input all the parts to give it a real go.

Will be in touch soon about the business side.
