Is Assembly geared mostly toward software projects? Or stated another way, are there any physical product projects on (in?, under?) Assembly? The very first photo on the article shows an exploded view of hardware, but a quick perusal of the site seems to indicate that all the projects are software projects. Or maybe I'm missing something? Is there a separate category for hardware vs. software? Has any Assembly project raised funds from a Kickstarter (or alike) yet? Or is there a built in way to crowdfund in Assembly?

Hey (co-founder of Assembly)! We're focusing on software projects at the moment (there's a bunch of unique challenges in just software alone), but we definitely think there's room to expand.
We're working on a clear way for products to get funds into their accounts (like a Kickstarter).

Adding some sort of kickstarter functionality to this would be really interesting. Or making it possible to earn ownership points by investing money, though I imagine that might alter the purity of the community dynamic. Excited to see how it all comes together either way.
