We received an amazingly positive response to the release of the Common Parts Library this past Monday. We got over 250 mailing list signups, coverage in EBN, and over 10,000 visits to the Common Parts Library page. We also got on the front page of Hacker News for the afternoon which generated some interesting discussion.

But most exciting was the specific feedback we received from design engineers and contract manufacturers who are excited about fine tuning the library. In the next week or two we’re going to be reviewing all the feedback we received and revising the list. Our plan is to release an updated version of the list within two weeks.

If you have comments on the list contents or the concept in general, we’d love to hear from you - email us at cpl@octopart.com.

Thanks!
