Software and Hardware Belong Together

Code on a screen next to electronic parts

Most of the tools on this site run in a browser, and most of what ends up on the bench is hardware. They work better together: software can make hardware easier to set up, test, and understand, and hardware gives software something real to do.

Topics in this note

  • Browser tools that help with hardware jobs
  • Reading data from devices into simple tools
  • Keeping things local and private by default
  • Building small, focused tools instead of big platforms
  • Where a desktop app makes more sense than a browser

This is a direction for OrgToolTank, not a finished feature list.

Got experience with this too?

Ran into the same problem, found a better fix, or have something useful to add?
