Hardware Startup is a personal blog at hwstartup.wordpress.com about hardware and startups. Since 2012, 4 different Hacker News readers have linked it 12 times, most often “How to run an Arduino clone on a 9V battery for weeks or even months”. The last post was in 2013, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this hardware startup blog for a hardware build done for under $5k and a guide to running an Arduino GSM shield on a battery pack.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
It looks really cool, and I'm extremely impressed that you did it for less than 5k. I think I found an interesting problem to solve, and while I'm looking at software-only solutions, I believe that it would be better solved by (simple) hardware. Your post gives me some encouragement to try it out :) (not right now, but I think I'll be in position to do it next year). Edit: I see you had both a "Show HN" and a blog p…
