tINDIE: Like Etsy For Electronic Tinkerers

Angry Bird-playing robot offered on tINDIE.com

If you’ve ever dreamed of an Etsy-like site for electronics tinkerers, it’s here.

Two months ago Emile Petrone put up a market research post on Reddit to explore an idea.

I thought of an Arduino/homemade tech marketplace where people could sell the things they build. As an engineer that has been watching Arduino and open source hardware from the sidelines, it seems like there isn’t a place for people to sell what they make (something I think would raise awareness of the platform & support the tinkers on the front lines).

Basically this would be a place to sell your homemade guitar pedal, pet feeder – any thing really. Sure there are sites to share plans, but there are more people (I think) that are interested in the platforms and gadgets but aren’t necessarily builders.

The site, called tINDIE, is now live. Excitement is warranted.
