You have just motivated me to upload my sets to Lugnet and register for peeron.

Could you add another two buttons?

1. "What can I build?"

It would have the same function as "Try to build" but it would list each of the
possible sets which I could build from my parts. And I have some ideas about
how it could be done without too much of a performance hit to your servers.

2. And I would love to see a "What are people trying to Build?" screen which
lists the top 100 sets which people have tried to build...

Might I add that I had exactly the same idea about a year ago - I was going to
suggest it to Jake Mckee, because I think it would be cool to be able to check
if I have the pieces to make someone else's instructions as per
bricksonthebrain. Imagine how cool it would be if the sets on bricksonthebrain
were highlighted with "You can build this with your current parts!"

But I guess that would need peeron to be able accept inventories for non Lego
sets and it doesn't look like it can do that(?).
