I have this problem every time, and really what we need is some crowd-sourced open database that lets people add attributes to products. I mean Wikipedia already has great tables for comparing software, for example version control systems [1]. There are specialized sites for things like Android phones [2] or PC monitors [3]. Amazon and Google Shopping often let you filter by attributes, but since many products aren't comprehensively tagged, you'll miss a lot if you use the filter (something that crowd sourcing could solve). Looking online, there only seems to be one project like this called Datakick [4] but it's not very functional. This kind of database would be a big win for smaller niche product manufacturers, who would be able to easily reach the customers looking for their feature set. And for contributors, the crowd-sourcing could be as simple as a browser extension that overlays on top of product websites (eg Amazon) and lets users easily tag products. I'm surprised something like this hasn't taken off yet. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_version-control_software https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_version-control_...
