    I mean... It took quite a lot of time... Like months until I got the first dialog.

    Thanks, We did not yet think trough the git integration, but I don't see why we couldn't add a "commit" / "push" button and pull from git. The main thing we'll add to KiCad aside f…

    Yeah, this is not optimized to mobile yet. My Iphone 13 pro did open once, didn't check further. Sometimes it works if you open it on a new tab ( memory issues ).

    It's on the "roadmap", someday I'll take some time to take a look at the autorouting situtation. I have a few ideas.

    I love that too, the sad part is that ~30% of our visitors ( from Plausible ) are on Safari which is... Not good :) No threads for ya there. At least it works. Yes! That's the plan…

    Yea, it sounds worse than it felt in that light lol. You have a point. In hindsight I should've taken a day or two for writing a good copy, I was just very impatient and wanted to …

    Yea, it makes sense. JLC already own EasyEDA, it's an interesting matchup for sure.

    You're wrong! It was two prompts! Jokes aside, you're right. I wanted to have something up quickly. Before the real launch ( and not just this demo ) I'll write one by hand, I'm ag…

    Nope, not at all. This is the original KiCad sources with some modifications to make it run in a browser. As far as I know kicanvas renders PCBs, we can do the whole workflow ( cre…

    To open a demo board click "Open" in the Projects/Demo board section then "Open in PCB Editor" at demo.kicad_pcb in Files. Next time I'll make a smoother demo...

    Yea, I'll add it in the next deploy. Thanks! Right now it's about ~30 MB for the big app ( 2 editors + footprint + symbol ).

    thanks! one thing we did not port is the plugin system: it's quite hard to run python on the web ( AFAIK pyodide is not enough here ) and I've heard that it will be deprecated in t…

    KiCad, a PCB EDA suite is now working in a browser, you can try it at the link, there's a demo project or you can bring your own. Firefox is best, Chrome is good, Safari is "workin…

    That's a neat idea! To be honest my brain is overflowing with ideas too, right now I want to just bring all the apps one. Or... Actually just bring the layout editor up first :) I'…
