#2Some additional options would be cool; for example, I’m fond of both CableMatters and CalDigit’s certified TB4 cables.

Noted, still working on adding quality cables to the database. Thanks for the suggestion!

Anker’s cables are high quality as well, but I don’t think they’re in the list

#5Seems to have a lot of holes. I'm going with a use case of connecting an audio interface. I choose "Connecting a device to a peripheral such as a keyboard, mouse, or monitor". Then I'm stuck choosing between keyboard mouse or monitor, with no way to go back. None of these are right.

#6The landing page needs a clear statement of what the purpose of the site is. I thought it was going to help you identify an unknown USB cable.

#8Recommending a 3ft thunderbolt 4 cable for charging my phone in bed isn't ideal.
Length and thickness/flexibility of cable are also very important although the latter is harder to quantify.

#9I love this idea! I do think the method of picking results needs a bit of tweaking. I tried the most basic case, charging a laptop with a C-to-C cable, and it suggested two Thunderbolt cables and a 5 Gbps cable, all of which are overkill (and less than ideal given their length limitations).
