Hey Product Hunt! I'm Cameron, the founder of MakerSurge.
I built MakerSurge because I kept running into the same frustrating problem. I'd sit down at my workbench with a bin full of components and no idea what to build without having to go out and buy a whole new list of parts. I searched for something that could help and nothing existed that actually used your specific inventory to generate ideas, so I built it myself.
MakerSurge is completely free to try and I'd love to hear what you think. If you're a maker or know someone who is, I'd genuinely appreciate you giving it a shot and letting me know what ideas it generates for your inventory.
Happy to answer any questions about how it works or how I built it. Thanks for checking it out!
Love how it actually uses what's on my shelf instead of suggesting builds full of parts I'd have to order. The difficulty filter saved me from another rabbit hole of overambitious projects.
Would love a way to save the projects it generates and mark them as completed, so I can track what I've actually built and come back later for the steps. A simple personal build log right inside the app would be really useful.
