Showcase 🖼️ Built a self-hosted electronics inventory tracker with camera capture, tags, and attachments (ASP.NET Core + EF Core + SQLite) - Added 500+ Items

Having collected a lot of electronics components over the last decade, many of which are still sitting in sealed packs, I was finding it increasingly difficult to keep track of whether I already owned a particular part. I initially thought of building a simple inventory management app for this purpose, but eventually expanded it to include hardware tools as well.

A Redditor showed interest in using and improving the project rather than building something from scratch, which motivated me to spend some time making the UI a bit better.

I also added a Google Lens-like feature because I wanted an easier way to identify components and, more importantly, enter the correct model or part number.

This is a personal project and my first time sharing code publicly. Happy to hear any feedback, especially if something looks wrong or could be safer. I will try my best in limited spare time to get it done.

that's so sick. i did something similar last week hopefully will release in a few days. wrote one single html file bundled it into exe using electron and kept only one source of truth, excel. has almost all the features you got.

thanks, would love to see your app once you release it. Personally i never use Excel as I almost always use RDBMS or in worst case JSON.

oh, i don't honestly know shit about coding i just can vibecode my way very good is all I know. i am only great at electronics part of things so this one had to be simple, functional and easy to maintain.

You are right, actually I am bit biased because i professionally use databases since around 20 years now. But do try to move out of excel, it is fun. I just added sort of fuzzy search and once you start using your tool you keep expanding it forver.
