Hey everyone 👋 James here, one of the drivers behind DIMO Build. We believe cars should be as open to developers as smartphones. Right now, most vehicle APIs are locked away by OEMs, making it hard for innovators to create new experiences for a $100B+ industry. DIMO Build flips that model — it’s open, transparent, and community-driven. You can spin up apps that tap into real vehicle data in minutes, whether you’re experimenting with AI copilots, EV range apps, fleet tracking, or creative games like “Pokémon GO for cars”. We’d love feedback from the PH community: 1. What would you build if you had direct access to car data? 2. Which AI or mobility use cases do you think have the most potential? Thanks for checking us out 🚗⚡

💡 Bright idea

really appreciate you’re making car data open for devs—finally, building car apps doesn’t have to be a nightmare! Any plans to help indie devs monetize their creations here?

Love seeing an open platform for cars. I’ve started to realize how complicated it is to manage multiple cars with different apps.

@tapatingo The developer network is what most consumers overlook! This launch will help businesses and developers understand better how they can and should make use of vehicle data, properly and elegantly :)

Congrats James and DIMO team! Data is way underutilized across the fleet industry - there's incredible potential with security monitoring, reporting, and ops management when you have easy access to real-time data. It's exciting to watch the DIMO team innovate!

We've added an "Upvote Offer" promotion code in case anyone is interested in getting their vehicles connected. With more vehicles connected, the data collection expands and drives developers and businesses to build better app experiences for users - it's a full cycle :)

Love the open platform approach, being able to prototype car-connected apps without waiting on OEMs is a huge unlock. Privacy model looks solid too, especially with that JWT-based consent setup.
