  1. @freewheelbikesmadison Yes!!!! I'm a *huge* proponent of standardized #modularity, in particular #OpenStructures

    There have also been modular designs specifically for #bicycles (in addition to the OpenStructures bikes), like XYZ #bikes

  2. Working in a hardware store has really shown me how much we need #OpenStructures

    We have a whole wall of sockets for socket wrenches, around two dozen imperial and two dozen metric, and the differences between them are so minuscule that people have no choice but to bring the thing in and just keep trying sockets until one fits. And that's not even mentioning the whole aisle of different screws and nails. 90% of this stuff could just not exist, since they serve the exact same purpose as the other 10%

    The solution is standardized, open-source #modularity. If you're one of the heroes building the new world (aka #makers) please make it a world that works with OpenStructures

    Boosts appreciated :boost_ok:

  3. PSA: If you're a #maker, please, if you can, design your stuff in the #openstructures grid! Modularity makes things so so much more sustainable, by making them easy to repair, customize, repurpose, and reuse - but the benefits only come with widespread adoption

    Please boost this if you support sustainable inventing!
