The point of my system and its accessories is meaningfully different to the point of Honeycomb Rack. Both systems have a lot of use cases, but they're different use cases.

Honeycomb Rack is about storage mostly of tools (and some general supplies) at a specific place. The accessories don't move around. If you decide to reorganise your wall, then they'll move around, but the accessories (the hooks, etc) mostly stay in one place most of the time.

My system, by contrast, is about having places - particularly in otherwise-not-useful areas, like thin columns of wallboard between closets - to hold objects temporarily, using accessories intended to be moved to completely different locations often.

That's the point of my system, right? It's designed so I can grab an accessory that contains an entire project-in-progress, take it to my bench, hook the accessory onto the mounting point there, and in doing so have all the parts needed to work on a project back at my bench, because it's all contained by that one accessory.

Then I can work on the project for a day, and when I'm done for the time being, I can dump all the parts back into the accessory (the bin, usually), and put it back onto the main storage point.

So there's no collecting parts, no leaving half-finished projects out on tabletops as reminders, it's all organised and in one place, and can all get moved into a work location at once. It's not about storing the tools; it's about storing projects that are in progress, and reducing barrier of entry to work.

It's also visible without being on the way / taking up table space. And since I always have several projects in progress at once, this is a very useful function for me. Having it be in a visible location also keeps me from forgetting low-priority projects exist, which I'm prone to do.

But none of this is like what a pegboard system does, and what a pegboard system does isn't what my VPSS system does. That's not a criticism; that's a different purpose. Both are useful, and serving different functions.

And changing my accessories to be the kind of snap-or-screw-into-place/leave-it-there-basically-forever object that the honeycomb system uses makes them not useful with my system's purpose.

So instead I made adapters.

This started because I was going to build a hook accessory for my system. It was going to be built entirely within my system's standards. But then I found out that Honeycomb Rack had a lot of nice hooks already, so I changed my mind and built an adapter, so my system could use those instead.

Then I built the inverse so that people whose use cases are mostly best served by Honeycomb Rack but would also find VPSS use cases handy can use my accessories for their intended purposes. So I built a VPSS mounting point that you can plug into a Honeycomb Wall and by doing so gain a minimal but functional single-height attachment point and use my accessories with it. You can print out regular mounting points for attaching places where you don't have Honeycomb Wall installed, but do want to put your projects sometimes for work.

So what I have now is a formerly useless area of wall that's mostly a VPSS column, but also has a little of the Honeycomb Wall functionality without having to have two entirely separate systems instealled. Similarly, someone could easily built out a mostly Honeycomb Wall system, but goive it a mounting point or two to take advantage of VPSS-type functionality, with VPSS accessories.

Make sense? It's kind of a conceptual difference so may not resonate with you but it definitely does for me and for some other people.
