HeyPCB has launched Circuit World, a browser-based library and design workspace that it says contains more than 8,800 open-hardware boards engineers can reuse instead of starting from a blank design. The launch puts co-founder and CTO Inky Ganbold (@1nkfy), who began designing boards as a teenager, behind a product built around a familiar complaint: hardware projects lack the easy-to-fork collaboration software developers take for granted.…
