diyzerThere are plenty of websites out there that users can visit if they want to learn how to make a piece of hardware using available technology such as Arduino. How these websites work is that one person (or a team) creates a project and uploads the instructions and guides online where other people can then view it and follow it for themselves.

However a new platform has launched under the name of DIYZER and unlike similar websites, DIYZER hopes to differentiate itself by being collaborative. What this means is that instead of one person or a team working on something and then submitting it for others to follow, DIYZER will allow users to come together online and collaborate together towards creating the final product.

diyzer 2According to the creators, the goal of DIYZER is to apply the collaborative efforts in open source software development to hardware development, which in turn could allow users to come up with all sorts of complex projects that they might not have been able to take on themselves. Users can create projects and share ideas, work on them simultaneously, keep all the code and assembling instructions in one location.

Essentially DIYZER wants to be the to hardware/electronics makers what Stack Overflow is to software developers. At the moment the platform is in beta with plans to go public come 28th of May 2015. If you’d like to learn more, you can head on over to its website for the details.
