Amiga-compatible mainboard: Denise
For about 90 Euro the Amiga-compatible mainboard "Denise" from the Swedish developer Enterlogic should be available in principle, plus e.g. 14 Euro shipping costs to Germany - but currently it is listed as sold out since the end of June, a new batch is announced. Besides the bare board, one gets another PCB for the RAM and two microcontrollers including firmware to use also PC keyboard and mouse besides the original Amiga ones.
Once all other components, including the 68000 processor and the Amiga custom chips, have been found and soldered, the fully assembled Denise is said to be most comparable to an Amiga 500+ with two Zorro II slots.

CLI command: sysvars - system information as environment variables
The sysvars command creates environment variables with system information in order to make it dependent on these, for example, in the startup sequence, which patches are included. So far there is information on the CPU and FPU, the chipset, the vertical frame rate (PAL/NTSC) as well as whether the emulator UAE is used - and if so, in which version.
AmigaOS 2.x is required, a future version for operating system version 1.3 is being considered.

Do it yourself: amiga-DSKRDY PCB for floppy disk drives
If no original Amiga disk drives are used, the "RDY" signal that the floppy disk drive is ready is usually missing, which can cause problems with some programs.
The 15x20 millimeter board amiga-DSKRDY provides the corresponding signal for such drives, assuming that readiness actually exists after 500 milliseconds.

Alien Breed clone: new playable demo for 'Chaos Guns'
Chaos Guns started life as a mashup of 'Alien Breed' - running and gunning from a top-down view - and 'Hired Guns' - four indepently playable characters. A first tech demo, written in the rather exotic programming language 'PowerD', was released in 2014. After loosing the only coder and realizing that engine as originally envisioned would be too taxing for the Amiga, the team created several prototypes including one created with Backbone that was released to the public in 2016.
