from the show-hn dept.

We're building Merlin to speed up electrical component selection, starting with ceramic capacitors. Overview video: https://youtu.be/FrGrivAKhncThe problem: We hated the tedious work of choosing components: copying specs into spreadsheets, taking screenshots from multiple datasheets, and cross-referencing parameters across manufacturers.What we built:- A comparison tool that displays all...

Building a better way to make design comparisons for electronics engineers. Starting with ceramic capacitors for now but expanding to other components types soon. www.get-merlin.com
