Been playing with #partdb (https://github.com/Part-DB/Part-DB-server) lately to see if it's a good way to keep my ever growing parts collection cataloged and findable. The #kicad integration seems like a great idea, but haven't done much besides dropping a few parts on a schematic.

Still have a few "best practices" to figure out. In particular, does anyone have any pointers on how best to manage generic/multi mfg parts like resistors?

@jhoward This seems interesting, although I worry it is a bit heavyweight for a single hobbyist user. But the direct #kicad integration is tempting and my previous, spreadsheet-based approach has not worked well for me.

It's got third party integration too, so importing all the details for a part from, say, digikey works pretty well. That's saved a lot of the data entry for me. Also, since it's available in docker, it was pretty trivial to get setup.
