BoardMint

A GitHub App that reviews KiCad and Gerber changes on every pull request to catch hardware risks such as clearance, creepage, ESD, and signal integrity issues before fabrication and respins. It sells to hardware engineers, firmware developers, and engineering teams at b2b companies that design PCBs and manage hardware in GitHub. It is delivered as a SaaS GitHub App with no YAML or runners that fails the check only on newly introduced critical risks while existing debt remains silent.
