Upverter, sharing and collaboration tools for open-source hardware
Last July, I met fellow canadian Zak Homuth at the Sketching in Hardware conference and discovered the project Upverter.The small Toronto-based startup aims to support sharing and collaboration for open-source hardware. The project is young (it’s in beta at the moment), but the ideas behind are big and praiseworthy. Nevertheless the project/company went public recently and I will definitely track the progress of this project.
As it is stated on their blog:
“Upverter is the GitHub of Electronics.”
“Upverter is the Shapeways of Electronics.”
“Upverter is the Google Docs of Hardware Design.”
You can watch a recent pitch presentation + demo here. And naturally the team is super open and honest about the whole project. You can discover all the technical backend of it for example.
