1) add a way to filter by skill without logging on (if I
don't see something I can help with, where's my incentive to open an account?)
2) add a hardware tag e.g., "embedded," "hardware," "Arduino," "mechanical"
Most of my useful skills are in embedded programming and hardware design and I really like doing short projects.
Add the tag yourself! My profile [1] features EMBEDDED C, PCB-DESIGN, and DSP tags. EMBEDDED C existed, I created the other two. EMBEDDED and EMBEDDED SW were also extant when I got here, but there's currently no search feature to see who else uses these tags or what projects used them.
I think HARDWARE is too ambiguous; this could apply to anything from implementing a task on a breadboard to architecting a server rack.
That said, Thomas said that they were working on improved tag features as fas [sic, he's working fast!] as they could. [2].
