NFC Inventory is how I'm getting a handle on the pile of cables, adapters, and equipment that accumulates around a workshop. Every item gets an NFC tag; scanning it — with a T-Embed hardware reader or the web UI — records where it is and keeps a history of where it's been.

It's the practical, boring-in-a-good-way kind of project: the moment you can answer "where did that thing go?" with a tap instead of a search, the whole space gets calmer.
