partkeepr.org – this looks like it’s going to be handy!
When the Hackerspace RaumZeitLabor started their electronic parts sorting, they realized that no good software existed to manage electronic parts. They started off using PartDB (a german software, written in mixed PHP+HTML), but realized that the software wasn’t powerful enough and awkward to extend with new functionality.
The hackers Felicitus, nessi and DaFo (amonst others) started to think about a new system, which eventually was written in 2011.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.

This does look pretty neat!
I’ve wanted to build something like this for some time, but it’s extensive.
I built something similar, a more limited database for vacuum tubes – provides a ‘want list’ you can print out for ham fests & such.
I don’t need to track every resistor, but it would be nice to know what’s in my parts bins without digging.
