What site was this?

I'm trying to find the link for a site that was posted on here not too long ago. It was a basic site where you can search on a component, and it would tell you what you can build with it.

Does that ring a bell to anyone? It was pretty helpful
 
you can also just tell us the component to crowdsource it.

And if it's a pedalpcb pcb you have in mind, I've used the google query "component site:pedalpcb.com filetype:pdf" to find stuff.
 
@VanWhy There's another page from that repository that's a bit easier to search by part, even though it's a singular drop-down—for some reason I can never fin in a straight up web search, and didn't have it bookmarked on mobile… found it:

The project links on the results page all link to Vero projects (with no schematics…) but it's just another search away. Annoying, but not bad.

I'm sure someone better versed in frontend development could work that GitHub repo into something that's even more friendly, too, and we'd have a nice database for things.

This is actually the one I was looking for! Thanks.

I thought it looked familiar but not quite right...been a minute :ROFLMAO:
 
There's enough there to make a killer tool for building that doesn't sit between the extremes:

index.html is like a super user level of searching; "I have 5x 10k resistors and this, and this, and this, and this... what can I make?"
search.html is like, "I got this one rando chip in the junk drawer I forgot about. What can I do with it?"

Doesn't help that the meta for both is the exact same text...
