Electronic parts inventory and project/BOM pricing

What it does

PartsBox is an online app that lets you take control of your electronic parts inventory, BOM pricing, and small-scale production. It keeps track of where components are stored, what the current stock levels are, and which components are used in which projects/BOMs. In addition, PartsBox provides always up-to-date BOM pricing and offer management.

Import and price a BOM with distributor price breaks, MOQs, and order multiples. Turn shortages into purchase orders, and receive them by barcode. Run single-stage and multi-stage builds with attrition and pick lists. Track stock by lot — reels, cut tape, what is usable for production — with exact per-lot cost and full traceability. Audio gear, scientific and test instruments, IoT and sensor products, robots and drones, space and defense hardware, medical devices, energy and EV electronics, industrial equipment — companies across these fields already run their inventory, BOMs, and production in PartsBox. The everyday question is: do you have this part, and where is it? PartsBox tracks each…from partsbox.com

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
