KOF parts and components

When I first began buying NOS bicycle parts 20 years ago, they were plentiful and inexpensive. Several years ago, they had become somewhat less plentiful and less cheap, and I got comfortable buying from Europe and Asia.
Now NOS parts are scarce and nose-bleed expensive.

This has got me thinking about vetting the current crop of KOF components. Some interesting new product has arrived in the last decade: Sun XCD, Velo Orange, Rene Herse, & etc. that is suitable for building up old framesets.

Any interest in compiling a comprehensive list of KOF components? Is there a place to park such a database here? Perhaps a Word .doc or a spreadsheet that is editable and contains hot links? I've considered starting a Pinterest page with images of product arranged in categories (the images act as hot links.)

Likely most everyone here knows about the obvious manufacturers, but I'm interested in teasing out the obscure gems.

Thanks
