There are a lot of OSHW projects I'd love to work on, but the main thing that holds me back is knowing they'd basically go nowhere. I can't post them online for others like with code.
Nobody is going to build it, the physical building of it is way harder than the design, anyone who could build it is too busy building their own projects that will go in the junk drawer in a week.
I would love to work at a real OSHW company, making IoT gadgets and stuff that for production and sale as polished commercial products with a software ecosystem behind them... but I lack a degree, live in Montana, and don't drive, and there are not many companies like that(And most of them are making expensive FOSS phones that don't run normal apps, cryptocurrency stuff, or glorified dev boards kinda pretending to be products)
