OpenHardware.io

I agree with @GertSanders on the two points made just. I also would like to be notified when my project gets shared and also about the self uploading option rather than a bot. I do feel that the site has huge potential to aid in the open hardware community, growing the scope of our projects which in turn should grow MySensors too. If the uploads were done manually you could then either put a 'throttled bottleneck' or a complete halt on the uploads until you upgrade the server capacity/through-put. That way you can do it as and when needed, if the funds are available obviously.

Why not let the site grow with input from users themselves,
Yep, will do that.
The script will still be useful for the daily sync job (of the current github connected projects) and if some new user wants to batch import all of their projects in one swoosh.

This last points adds in the ease to upload multiple projects. I would advertise this possibility, and use the script on demand. It's nice to know that importing from github is possible already, but it is even nicer to know that multiple projects can be added this way as well.

New features:
Openhardware.io now generates top/bottom view images automatically when project contains gerber files (they should pop up in the files-tab, available for publication). This function may fail silently if it runs into problems rendering the gerbers.
Added possibility to add stl-files. Good when you want to create a project containing enclosures. Had to skip online 3d-viewer for now. The stl-files should pop up in the design files tab.
Also fixed some problems using firefox.
A small update regarding new manufacturers: ITead will soon do integration tests, hope to have them on board soon.

Yes, it would be possible (as both uses markdown)... but it could get messy with the embedded images. They are often relative to the openhardware.io domain so it would take some regex magic when pushing it to the forum.
The box you see here is actually an iframe showing content directly on openhardware.

I've developed a 3D rendering function for gerber files on OpenHardware.io. You can zoom/pan/rotate using the mouse. For fullscreen, press the arrow symbol in the top right corner.
If you want to enable this for your project. Just upload gerbers-files and make sure to publish them for your project.
Here is an example:

@hek is it possible to add middle click or ctrl+left click handler to this page? https://www.openhardware.io/explore
I'm using Firefox and it's impossible to open projects from this page in new browser tabs. Both mouse middle click and CTRL+left click isn't working. First one just scrolls browser window, second one opens project in the same tab instead of opening in new tab. Also it's impossible to right click on project preview image to select "Open Link in New Window" context menu item.
The same thing in Microsoft Edge browser.
