I'm a bit hesitant to add more product categories at the moment.

All the data is manually researched, which takes about 1h per day, 7 days a week. There are a surprisingly large number of new products and product variations coming out on a constant basis. So a new category would increase the time to research the data further.

I wish there was a Productpedia that would crowdsource structured data about products on a per-category basis. There are isolated instances of this on Wikipedia, i.e. lists of CPUs etc., but not in a queryable form (that I know of). You’d need support for one-off features, probably by using tags. It would be nice if ultimately it gained enough popularity that vendors would self-enter their products specs…

I imagine your site could become something like that if there was a means of opening up contributions.

Hah! It would be amusing to base it off of git and have people submit pull requests for updates or corrections. (I also feel that’s probably a horrible idea, for reasons I am to lazy to think up.)

The hard part about user generated product data would be to handle trustworthyness. That would involve voting for correct and against wrong data, building user trust points etc. Not a small feat.
