I implemented inventory management in /shopping: I hated crossing shopping lists in the market and having to think about it all again later. Much better to keep a pre-determined list of stuff you want to always have at home (with the option to snooze it if you are not feeling like buying that for now, but may be in the future) and only say if you do have it or if you need to buy it.
But you're asking to have a list of non-consumable stuff you have being able to record where it lives; I'd just use shopping, mark as something that I have, and put it's location on the description. You could create a category there: "House stuff" or something.
- atmanactive 28d agoThe challenge with an inventory, as opposed to shopping is classification. With shopping lists, I don't need much classification, milk is milk, lettuce is lettuce. But, for an inventory, I need a tree of parent-child relationships as well as tags, with freely configurable destination fields, like, for example, KeePassXC/KeePassDX. Not all objects have same data attributes, like, for example, that measuring tape, is it a 3m or 5m tape, is it a construction tape or tailor tape. My USB cables in the drawer, are they USB2 or USB3, USB-C or USB-A. In my brain, a shopping list is a flat array, while home inventory is a file system with tags.
- chedieck 28d agoMakes sense. I will put that on the ROADMAP, maybe /shopping can be reworked into /inventory and made way more detailed and powerful. Thanks a lot for your input!
- atmanactive 28d agoAwesome. Looking forward.
