AI Analysis

●MidShip It

BOM + supply chain risk for hardware, but mostly mock data and vaporware positioning.

Strengths

•Git-style BOM versioning is clever for hardware iteration tracking
•Supply chain risk calculation addresses a real pain point in prototype-to-production
•CSV import/export and alternative part finder cover practical workflows

Weaknesses

•Demo is mostly mock data—no real functionality demonstrated, only pitch
•Framing ('stop wasting time') is broad but execution is embryonic; OCtopart, Bom.com already solve core problems

Post Description

Hey guys! While working on my hardware start-up in the past, I got tired of using spreadsheets and scouring random Google sites for part search. To help manage all this, I vibe-coded a tool over the weekend.

To try the demo website (with the demo/mock data), checkout

https://odem-git-main-skymark.vercel.app/ Email: [email protected] Pass: test123

It's super early stage, and mostly mock data, but it's been pretty useful so far. It's got - Historical price data for parts (predictions?) - Supply chain risk calculation (for those hoping to get past the prototype stage) - Alternative part finder (mock on demo) - LLM-based part search (mock on demo) - GIT-ish BOM management - CSV Import/Export - And more :)

To any hardware founders out there, are there any features you'd kill to have while working on your products?

Also, if anyone wants to try it out properly for their projects, let me know. Will not only let you use it for free, but also build out whatever you want.
