This is really cool.<p>There is a community around DIY electronics. It is easy to buy prototyping boards, chips, 3D print, laser cut, and fab PCBs.<p>And presumably, large companies have a pipeline for manufacturing goods.<p>But for someone who wants to go from &quot;small scale assembling products by hand&quot; to &quot;doing a run of 1000 pieces&quot;, it&#x27;s hard to even know what one&#x27;s options are for productionizing hardware.<p>We talk about the fact doing hardware is becoming just as easy as doing software, and making it easy to run a &quot;production deployment&quot; is a natural next step in this trend.<p>I&#x27;m interested to see what kind of data you all collect!
