we are! can you email kat@seam.co? We have a couple of hardware projects in development/beta (https://www.seam.co/seam-bridge). We're also interested in providing guides for flashing your own device with some open Yocto-based firmware that we've worked on in the past.
hard to say. We always get manufacturers asking us how they can get integrated into Seam. Generally we find that it's faster for us to do the integration versus the other way around. We've internally discussed fully open sourcing our connectors, like Airbyte, but we'd need to make sure the integrations are rock solid and the virtual device in our sandbox are accurately modeling the behavior of the real ones.
Interesting idea. But it seems like there’s room for abuse - won’t engineers, who are unhappy that they didn’t get an offer, just report companies? Don’t you just become Yelp in that case, full of reviews from salty customers? How are you going to get useful data when you’re worried about that?
