BuildLedger
A lightweight system for tracking build progress, parts, and design decisions across hardware projects — so prototyping stays organized instead of scattered across notes and chats.

Overview
Keep the build's memory in one place
Hardware projects accumulate context fast: which parts were ordered, which approach was abandoned and why, what's left to do. BuildLedger explores a single, low-friction home for that context — a running build log tied to a bill of materials and a record of decisions — so picking a project back up doesn't mean re-deriving everything from memory.
Problem
Build context is scattered across notes, photos, receipts, and chats — and lost between sessions.
Approach
A structured but quick-to-update log linking tasks, parts, and the reasoning behind design choices.
