BOM Shelter puts open-hardware parts on one list

A prototype storefront indexes open-source hardware projects and offers a BOM matcher that connects parts lists to stocked components.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-26 issue.

For: Open-hardware builders sourcing project components
Worth noticing: Its sample BOM flags a four-line screw match for review and offers a substitution without silently changing the order.

Field notes

The homepage lays out a three-step BOM workflow: provide a parts list, review stock matches, then add items to an order sheet or export a CSV. Its TinyPlotter example shows 13 of 14 lines matched, including a screw line marked for review. The site also says kits carry assembly notes and the hardware license; its footer identifies the storefront as a prototype with no live payments.
