Wevolver
An open-source platform designed to host and share information about hardware projects
Wevolver is an open-source platform designed to host and share information about how to build and refine hardware products and projects. On Wevolver, people share files and knowledge of engineering projects like robots, 3d-printers, and drones. Using those resources enables others to make, improve and collaborate on these projects. Wevolver allows you to explore innovative and inspiring open source technology projects such as Ultrascope, a smartphone-controlled telescope designed for citizen space exploration. It also gives you the ability to share the blueprints of your own work and collaborate with others on new technology.
This crowdsourced approach to creativity and creation makes tech accessible to the masses and allows for collaboration across the globe, which in turn pushes ideas and innovation beyond what one might accomplish alone.
