I've thought of doing something similar. Add a barcode to everything, designate a "home" and then create a catalogue. I even found an app that supports this.
No more "where does this go" or "where do I find X"..
- HPsquared 2y agoMaybe a phone camera could be trained to recognize the objects and locations.
- tra3 2y agoYeah that would work too. I ended up creating a table in org mode for a limited subset of my gear — camping gear specifically. Using the phone is just too much friction. I print out a checklist and check items off. This is not the flying car future I was hoping for, but it works well enough.
- HPsquared 2y agoFlying cars, when they come, will probably depend on bash scripts on some level.
- Animats 2y agoThere was once a startup product for that. Came in a box "Now you can barcode everything in your house". Saw it at Fry's Electronics in the DOS era. There's a modern version.[1] This is a bit much for a house, unless you have way too much house, or several houses.
