Thanks for looking into it and sharing your notes. I am glad you see the value and understand its need.
Definitely, the recurring revenue is the starting point, we are in process of integrating with supply chain (basic integration is already rolled out — the minimum you suggested)
We are working towards the maximum with a two way model giving pcb manufacturers to create a tool for estimation and order creation, while giving users a one click interface to get estimates and order parts/boards.
It will be for both public facing projects and private projects, to purchase the boards + parts.

Hello there, have a question that doesn't pertain to HN comments. Is there a way to message you? Thanks

Sure, you can email me at [email protected]
Unfortunately, this seems like a killer to https://kitspace.org/ (__assuming__ it turns out to be a good repository any public facing projects). Kitspace seemed like a very good effort. I am assuming for public facing projects you would integrate with distributors and manufacturers for purchasing... since... well, you're already doing some wizardry.
on that note above about projects in general: - Are you going to capitalize on the manufacturing, purchasing of parts, assembly, etc of PCBs designed on your platform? -- At a minimum: dumping a list of parts into DigiKey, integrate with PCBway... -- At a maximum: providing a 1-click software integration with many PCB manufacturing houses, all parts ordered (abstraction from distributors), hand stencils or PCBA, etc.
I hope you go further than simply some small amount of recurring revenue from $50 and ~$200 accounts... well, because... seems like you're almost there.
