I was trying to decide on a new tent. It seems like I spent hours clicking around the web just to compare things and narrow it down to which ones met my needs.
When I’m not backpacking I’m happiest writing computer code.
As a result I have the start of a project that I would like to share with the community. I would love your feedback as to what I missed and what I got wrong. (Especially from the gear makers themselves)

Wow, this will be fantastic once complete, even to just have a quick way to compare weights for a few tents on the fly (PUN!). Nice work!
Yeah, very cool!
Suggestions to consider:
Generality comes at the cost of complexity, but you might consider stating whether or not the weight of guy lines, stakes, or stuff sacks are included.
You have the Hexamid Solo listed at 15.4 oz, but the version I care about (sans netting) weighs about 6.31 oz (well, mine does).
Pretty neat tool, particularly to give one a sense of what tarps/tents they ought to look into closer for detailed comparison!
