Looks good, but it'll probably take a while until it's anywhere close to the coverage of existing repositories: https://templates.blakadder.com/ https://templa

Looks good, but it'll probably take a while until it's anywhere close to the coverage of existing repositories: https://templates.blakadder.com/ https://templates.blakadder.com/ has almost 3,000 devices flashable onto Tasmota firmware. For older Tuya devices there's https://github.com/tuya-cloudcutter/tuya-cloudcutter https://github.com/tuya-cloudcutter/tuya-cloudcutter OpenBeken https://github.com/openshwprojects/OpenBK7231T_App https://github.com/openshwprojects/OpenBK7231T_App covers 800 of the newer generation Tuya devices. And there's a large community adapting ESP32 devices onto https://esphome.io/ https://esphome.io/

Oh, esphome is more than only esp32 these days. For one it always worked on the pre-esp32 ESPs. But yeah, RPI2040, nrf52 and a couple of other platforms work too.

Yup, it will take a bit of time until we index as many devices as possible. Also, we need to invest a bit more to make the AI search faster and much better. (If anyone has any ideas, we're open to feedback.) Also, I'm curious — how do you think we can make the device pages even better? My personal problem is that I want to find devices for a specific use case, and the issue is that it's pretty hard to extract real-life use cases for all the scraped devices. We will need a way to extract these insights from the internet.

  Great idea. You could have discussion under each device, or else have a forum where devices can be selected and tagged. Maybe a "builds" page where devices have been implemented in end user setups. Also, I've seen motherboards/SBCs from China where it is impossible or difficult to find Bios updates, especially in English. This is for the Mini PC market. Have you seen sbcwiki.com - they have a news, software and tutorials section. A lot of HN activity in this space: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastYear&page=0&prefix=false&query=SBC&sort=byPopularity&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastYear&page=0&prefix=fal... Another idea is to build up wishlists and ownerlists around devices. Good resource for people looking for ideas/help. Can have photos too.
