BOM Sourcing Guide
Find Everything You Need to Build Kits, Parts, and sparks.
While I know many people use a mobile for much of their browsing, me included, I assume if people want to view data heavy sites they would flip their phone like I do to get a wide screen that fits.
I think I'm probably in the wrong, I've seen a screen capture today of someone scrolling really a lot of a page with that horizonal view and the site is really broken in that mode, started giving it some attention
I've seen in some live stream building a really cool browser to view multi devices render on one window (and I know the 3rd party SaaS offers that take screenshots and even compare between versions) anyhow I went and search for an open source tool, and it's really poor comparatively, but does the job to show me the light - "Responsively App" if your interested.
I've only did the top menu so far, it's cute, I don't have a vision for it and I'm not a designer and I did it just to check a mark for now, too many things to do... there is always going to be something more important.
Every hardware project starts with an exciting vision - a best in class 3d printer, a precise fast CNC machine that just spits out parts or a plastic injection machine - Just build it by the manual, what can be easier than that? but the journey from idea to reality often involves navigating unexpected challenges. One of the most frustrating aspects I encountered was the process of sourcing components.
Decipher vague part descriptions and find suitable replacements.
Efficiently locate the exact component across various online platforms.
Compare alternatives, offers and prices effectively to find the best deals.
I created the BOM Sourcing Guide to help others overcome these challenges. I believe that by empowering makers with the knowledge and tools to navigate the sourcing process, we can foster a stronger community of builders and innovators. Let’s work together to build better things for everyone, embracing open source hardware projects as a cornerstone for community growth.
