That's exactly the sort of volume we are looking to cost optimise. As for absolute cost it's really difficult to say, it depends so much on the exact configuration of your board. If you would like to upload a design the quote is p

We took the decision to require Dropbox for now. It makes it really easy to sync new revisions and keeps the user flow simple. We will probably open that up in the future.

That's the basic idea yes. We dont just outsource to the CM though, we're integrating deeply with them. The API statement is a bit premature, right now the only client is our own AngularJS app, but it's coming.

Oh yeah i've been there! We hope to eliminate a lot of those types of issues but in future we will be handling that communication from within the web interface. We're working closely with our first partner CM http://www

Pricing is dynamic depending on the exact specification of your circuit board. We extract hundreds of parameters from your design and use them to figure out how much it's going to cost. We should probably do a better job of explaining

Hi Hershel, Andrew co-founder of CircuitHub here. Thanks for checking us out. We have a few early beta users that have manufactured with us and to my knowledge are really happy. We've got a lot to do though and any feedback is much app

There are so many people dipping their toes into hardware now, it's great to see a course designed around the practical aspects for them.

Looks great, just purchased. +1 for coffeescript/source maps, we do everything in Coffee. +1 for charging, i hope you get the support to work on this full time. Maybe consider an open source basic / premium closed version though. +1 for a s

We founded and developed https://circuithub.com/ largely as a distributed team (all members in different locations). This is a complex topic that i intend to discuss more in long form, but in short, with contemporary communication and col

Hi Ben, I hope your well. Ideally we would like manufacturers to setup their own accounts and approve their own lib's, that would be a big win for users. Basically i think this problem has slipped between the cracks, the semi co's, engineer

actually the API is public and the file format is standards based, we just havent had time to document everything yet! Agreed we need to do better with adding more parts, please free to help out haha.

exactly, creating everything yourself from scratch is no panacea though, it's easy to make mistakes. We think that the first time somebody makes a mistake with their library is the only time that mistake should be made. I.e everybody get's

It is difficult to follow lean startup principles with hardware products. The feedback loop to design, build and test hardware is long and expensive. Then once you've got a workable design you'll need a lot of capital to do a production run

The low end of every successful product category ever created eventually becomes a commodity. The author has equated the commoditization of low end tablets with the death of one of the worlds largest industries. This would be like saying; m

a very interesting direction for Crowdtilt. I'm interested to see how democratised crowd funding for political intent plays out.

Why anybody thought it was a good idea to replicate desktop applications verbatim on the web i dont know, the era of composing GUI's from complex fully featured widgets is dying. Declarative presentation in HTML/CSS coupled to JS (or better

Dropbox are making a play to be the storage platform for all your cloud data. I.e I design a wiz bang SaaS collaboration app using their API and you get "control" of your data. Justifies the valuation if they can pull it off..
