We’re thrilled to announce that WebScreen has officially received certification from the Open Source Hardware Association (OSHWA). This certification is a testament to our commitment to open-source principles and community collaboration. Here’s why this milestone matters and how it aligns with our vision for WebScreen.

What is OSHWA Certification?

OSHWA certification ensures that a hardware project complies with the highest standards of openness, allowing anyone to freely study, modify, and distribute the designs. It guarantees transparency and fosters trust among users, developers, and the broader community. By meeting these standards, WebScreen is now part of an elite group of certified open-source projects.

What Does This Mean for WebScreen?

With OSHWA certification, we’re making every aspect of WebScreen openly available under the MIT license, including:

■ PCB Schematics and Layout: Enabling anyone to understand and modify the hardware design.
■ Bill of Materials (BOM): Providing a complete list of components for replication and customization.
■ Firmware: Offering the code that powers WebScreen, ensuring adaptability for new use cases.
■ Client Application: Sharing the desktop app that configures WebScreen, giving users full control.
■ Website Code: Enabling developers to integrate and extend WebScreen’s web presence.

This certification reinforces our belief that openness drives innovation and that sharing knowledge empowers creators worldwide.

Why Open Source?

WebScreen isn’t just a product—it’s a platform. By open-sourcing our work, we’re inviting developers, gamers, and innovators to build their own applications, add unique features, and create a thriving ecosystem around personalized displays. Our ultimate goal is to establish a new category of peripherals that combine productivity with customization.

The Journey Ahead

This certification is just the beginning. We’re committed to:

■ Expanding WebScreen’s capabilities with new integrations and features.
■ Supporting developers by offering detailed documentation and active community engagement.
