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?

I haven't completely fell in love with part-db, as it seems like a lot of work to manage and doesn't have great generic (part compatibility) support.

I'm also toying with Git PLM https://github.com/git-plm/gitplm although that doesn't really manage the inventory aspects. But in looking at the kicad DB interface, I think it might be pretty easy to slightly modify this for my needs.

So, may still go the "something myself" route. I'll post with updates if I have them.
