Score: 4.7/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 3, Documentation: 4, Utility: 6)

Stillwind is a PCB library service that generates KiCad or Altium footprints and symbols from manufacturer part numbers, adhering to the user's library conventions. The title suggests constraint solving, but the README describes a manual or semi-automated service rather than open-source software. It addresses a pain point for hardware engineers who need consistent, custom-compliant parts quickly.

Target audience: hardware engineers, PCB designers
