Looks good, but it'll probably take a while until it's anywhere close to the coverage of existing repositories:

https://templates.blakadder.com/ has almost 3,000 devices flashable onto Tasmota firmware.

For older Tuya devices there's https://github.com/tuya-cloudcutter/tuya-cloudcutter

OpenBeken https://github.com/openshwprojects/OpenBK7231T_App covers 800 of the newer generation Tuya devices.

And there's a large community adapting ESP32 devices onto https://esphome.io/

Also, prices for everything is 1.5 - 2.5X.

I wonder what (api?) creators are using to programmatically calculate this pricing.

I strongly feel that each board should display pricing in two ways 1. Market price. buy now price. 2. Get it used (used market price).

There are another ~3k devices on the OpenWRT table of hardware that would fall into this category: https://toh.openwrt.org/

This is "Open Hardware" which usually means open PCB or chip schematics, so people can modify or extend the board. OpenWRT is "Open Software that runs on closed hardware".

After checking a couple, Kind of seems like a lot of boards on this "open hardware" list might not actually be open hardware?

Here's an example of what open hardware is supposed to be: https://github.com/greatscottgadgets/ubertooth/tree/master/h...
