Hey people,
sorry to promote my own project with my first post. Feel free to remove if I am breaking any rules.
I have been working on a little open source browser extension to make it easier to purchase components. It has been available for Chrome for a while and is now also available for Firefox. Source and info is available at:
https://github.com/monostable/1clickBOMI would really love to get some feedback as to whether people find it useful. I would love to see more OSHW projects standardise on a BOM format so that you can easily get the components for them without the creators having to make kits.
Cheers,
Kaspar
EDIT: So for instance if you wanted to build a Bus Pirate you could visit
bus_pirate.tsv and then you could easily get all the components from your favorite retailer using the extension.
