Do you have a bunch of unused cables tangled in a box? Hanging in a closet? STREWN ACROSS THE GUEST BED? Do you find yourself purchasing a new tool or toy only

Do you have a bunch of unused cables tangled in a box? Hanging in a closet? STREWN ACROSS THE GUEST BED?
Do you find yourself purchasing a new tool or toy only to discover you need yet another USB cable to power it or one with a proper transfer speed for your setup? Or did your old tool or toy break leaving you with some bizarre proprietary(?) cable that you'll probably never have use for again?
Well I want to make a website where people can:
1) Inventory
2) Share
3) Identify
all their unused cables. Why keep buying new cables and contributing to waste? Why keep storing a bunch of cables we don't use instead of giving them to people who can put them to use? And what the hell is this connector I founded tangled up with my XLR and DVI-D cable?
If someone wants to collab I think I've already got a killer name. Just haven't decided a TLD.
My stack preference would be a backend using Haskell, Erlang, Elixir or Clojure. Frontend would NOT be an SPA, but I'm imagining some custom components (like a connector identifier and maybe a tabular inventory view) that I would lean towards using Elm for.
