Very similar to this?

Except that the Peeron version uses the sets you indicated you own,
instead of an arbitrary list.

And the Peeron version allows you to specify parts that you own rather than just
sets. So if you got some stuff at Pick-A-Brick or BrickLink, you have the option
of acknowledging that you have it. Handy in terms of being able to pick your
list arbitrarily, though-- and in the "ignore X" options (although I imagine it
takes some effort to define what a "basic" or "minifig" part is, etc)

Where's it getting its data from? Is it slurping Peeron on the fly? Looks like
it's slurping sets that it doesn't already have cached... And if it takes longer
than 70 seconds pulling set data, it gives up.

(...) Yes, it slurps the html pages and tries to parse them. I won't comment on what I think about parsing HTML ;) (17 years ago, 17-Jan-07, to lugnet.db.inv)
