Stillwind – High Resolution Electronic Component Search

We’ve spent the last couple of months building Stillwind Search, a search engine for electronic components that helps users find parts that fit even the most complex set of specifications. After talking to the people that actually build PCBs we found out that finding the exact part you are looking for, is consuming enormous amounts of times, is very tedious and then often doesn’t yield the best results. So we tried to cut down this search time by just requiring a (broad) description of the specifications and we find the correct part in minutes, not hours. This is possible through our own…

Stillwind – High Resolution Electronic Component Search launched on June 11, 2026 with 7 votes, #1,808 of 22,647 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.

What it does

Stillwind fixes bad footprints and footprint libraries at low cost — symbols and 3D models next. Plus an AI-powered electronic component search engine.

Almost no footprint in the wild is spec compliant — and a single bad footprint can fail an entire production run. Send us your component library and we hand back footprints your fab will love , coherent across your whole design, with none of the tedious work. When we surveyed the footprints engineers actually use, the quality was poor: almost none were spec compliant, and these mistakes fail entire production runs, churn fabs and hurt yield. You give us your component library — we process every component and free your engineers from doing this tedious work. We work straight from the datasheet and directly from the manufacturer's drawings, so every dimension traces back to the source. Two…from stillwind.ai

  • Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481

    Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

    Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
