Open-source "npm" of hardware. Creating a free registry to make agentic hardware building not suck.

Need community help to build the registry!

[hpm @OpenHpm]

Agentic PCB design completely sucks. Why?

Bc component data is behind corporate TOS agreements with infra stuck in 1998

hpm, the open-source "npm" for hardware

1 person contributes 1 component, that's all we need.

WOW, Insightful text on the future of what AI should be

THIS

this is what MOLA solves

MOLA instructs Claude Code to leave behind markers in your code while it's building.

MOLA then deterministically converts those trails into an organized and visual interface.

@kapilansh_twt People aren’t asking the same questions

@sflorimm I would say hardware a few months ago. Check out my profile to see why that’s not true now.

@rezoundous More monitors. Does it help? Not sure, but that seems to be the common denominator in the startup media I’ve seen.

[hpm @OpenHpm]

I’m 19, willing to drop out of my dream Ivy League education, believing the next wave will be agentic hardware design

However, current Agentic PCB design completely sucks. Why?

Bc component data is behind corporate TOS agreements with infra stuck in 1998

@AlexFinn The gap between software and hardware automation is CLOSING

Agentic hardware design is a hella underrated topic

RAG WILL DRAIN YOUR WALLETS 💸

Agentic PCB platforms use RAG to query vector DBs for every single part lookup. It’s slow, expensive, and risks hallucinations.

I’m building a FREE registry of verified, machine-readable JSON components.

Looking for what experts in the topic think about this project!

Compile once, fetch forever. Zero RAG tax.

@rezoundous To be fair, for commits, it’s arguably better than my “Fixed: minor bug” messages. Might as well have it push too after that right?

@im_roy_lee Im coming for hardware👊

[hpm @OpenHpm]

@ritu_twts typeCAD + hpm

[hpm @OpenHpm]

software gets npm, pip, cargo

hardware engineers get “just google the datasheet”

HPM: the open source PCB component registry hardware deserved a decade ago

The “npm” for hardware.

AI will generate a PCB with components that don’t exist.

Wrong footprint. Wrong pinout. Wrong package.

You find out after fabrication.

HPM: an open source component registry for hardware.

npm, but for PCBs.

@vishaltweetup Some may say move to hardware. I got some bad news.

[hpm @OpenHpm]

@Prathkum And I’m coming for hardware next 👀

@AiroPrompts The community. My profile tells you why :)

@Codie_Sanchez That Claude Max subscription lookin like a good deal now 👀
