I was better at Web Stuff, I would love to have one of those single-purpose sites that tried to show at a glance the status of the semiconductor industry.
I mean everybody knows it's really bad, but it's so hard to get a feel for and to see if anything is changing, unless (I guess) you're seriously In The Trenches doing e.g. component sourcing for some boards.
I imagine something like https://dowehavechipsyet.com/ https://dowehavechipsyet.com/ (made-up domain) with current inventory across western and eastern suppliers, price with price trends, manufacturer's stated wait time for orders, and so on. Like an aid in quickly seeing the state of the industry, perhaps for uh I don't know, either some varied selection of components (micros, transistors, power parts, etc) or deeper with perhaps 5-10 chips from each category.
Does that exist and nobody told me? :)

Here's some links to parts that have been a pain in my side. We have to result to hoarding brokers with 1000x markups to continue production (not my call, I'm the guy with the oscilloscope not the suit...). https://octopart.com/tps1h100bqpwprq1-texas+instruments-55347276?r=sp#InventoryHistory https://octopart.com/tps1h100bqpwprq1-texas+instruments-5534... https://octopart.com/at25df641a-mh-y-renesas-118506301?r=sp#InventoryHistory https://octopart.com/at25df641a-mh-y-renesas-118506301?r=sp#...
