Hi HN — I built BoardMint because I don’t think AI-first PCB review is trustworthy if it can hallucinate.
In hardware, a plausible wrong answer can still cost a board spin.
A lot of engineers still seem skeptical of AI-first PCB tools for that reason — Flux.ai’s copilot, for example, has been called out for claiming it added resistors and other features that never actually appear in the schematic. So BoardMint does the core analysis with deterministic rule engines, not an LLM. It parses PCB projects, runs standards-backed checks, and uses AI only to explain findings and suggest fixes.
It also includes project/file management, collaboration, comments, and an AI assistant with full project context.
