   A little free library style box, but not free and not a library ( https://thingio.dev ) I've got an LTE module connected to a solenoid lock. The module listens for a "checkout complete" callback from a Stripe paymen

   Thanks! 100% agree. It's the "board that works" part that might be tricky with open source designs.

   I'm working on cataloging open source hardware designs. When I'm starting a new hardware design, I find myself pulling up familiar boards (like Adafruit or Sparkfun's dev boards) as often as the chip's application note.

    Yeah, definitely worth looking into. I think Stripe has their Connect feature which might facilitate payments between people. Could be fun to tinker with. Thanks for the feedback!

    I am thinking about doing something with it. I put up a landing page to gauge interest, but I have no idea how I would monetize. Right now it's just burning money on AWS.

    I'm a credit card point junkie so I always volunteer to pay the bill at dinner or drinks. But, if everyone doesn't get roughly the same thing, it becomes a massive headache. I got fed up with having to manually tally up what every

    I'm working on a repository of open source hardware designs over at postdrc.com. I always like to take a pulse check on which components and configurations other people are using for different hardware functional blocks (think 3v linea

    This is very helpful feedback, thanks! My mind goes to a few places when you talk about rich annotations on boards. Something like virtual sticky notes that are tied to specific areas on the design might be kind of fun. I hope to avoid just

    That is a great thought on the high turn PCB production. You will have to keep me updated on your progress as you get up and running. Although, I'm not sure how to share contact info inside of HN? My Twitter is linked in the about page

    Thanks for your note, I agree. I think it would be great to have a much better viewer. I worry about relying on raw design files because the EDA space is so fragmented. Everyone is using different tools and they really don't make it ea

    Going from a large corporate environment with strict design reviews, to the only hardware adept person on my small team I was really missing some sort of feedback on some of my (open source) designs. Reddit.com/r/printedcircuitboa
