Regarding a parts concierge for Kicad / Eagle. We've built this for Altium, you can see it here: https://upverter.com/features/concierge-altium/

We hadn't planned on supporting either KiCad or Eagle though. We didn't think there was much of a market. Im curious what you all think - do you think people would be willing to pay for parts creation as a service for either kicad or eagle? Also don't you think there would be a flame-war of the FOSS Kicad crowd vs. proprietary pay-to0use parts data?

Maybe. I don't love creating parts or footprints for Eagle. (I haven't used KiCAD enough to form an opinion.) I've never used Altium, but I've met plenty of people who love it and rave about it. Given that, I can see how it's a sensible market to pursue.
