To me, a spreadsheet is more than enough.

A text file is even better, for not depending on software with a complex stack that might not be available in the long term.  For example, I once put al the resistors in a database.  That was a mistake, too much work to keep it updated, and nobody uses any more a 5'' floppy disks with db2 for the CP/M OS anyway.   ;D

Not doing production, so my inventory doesn't move much and I tend to remember what I have.

Thanks, but no thanks! No SaaS for me! I've seen too many companies shutting down completely or shutting down specific SaaS products for whatever reason causing customers to lose valuable data or content, or outages lasting several days, hacked platforms and so on. Even the big players are plagued by such issues. The risk assessment concludes that it would be a bad idea.
elcrni:
Allright guys, many thanks for your thoughts.

It will be cloud based after all. Whoever likes it, will be welcome to use it.

Have fun weekend :-)

Hi elcrni,
one software i have been wanting to use for a long time is Partkeepr.
Open source, can be run locally on a virtual machine (or dedicated server) as it's actually a web based application.
I wanted to use it but i never used it more than a couple of days at times, because it has always had issues and that i never managed to overcome, but the idea behind this software is exactly what i have in mind in terms of how it manages things, how they are organized.

I would be very happy to pay / donate / whatever for support/updates if i knew that this product is actually mantained and moving forward.
i will not rent software as long as i can.

Thanks!

Yes, we are still far from the final licensing/payment model decision so we could as well end up with one off payment at the end.

Thanks,
Alek
