#2Are you using SPICE for the actual simulation?

#3Pretty cool, though I would say that a breadboard is probably a worse UI for capturing circuits than whatever we had in 2003.
But it is fair that e.g. LTspice has a terrible GUI. I always thought QUCS had the best UI of all the free options:

Unfortunately it's not the most popular project.

Hey! I work on Diode w/ Austin (OP). Yeah we use a wasm-compiled version of ngSpice for the circuit simulation.

#5Ah skeuomorphism my old friend. So good to see you!

#6Are there any inductors or transformers? I don't see any on the left parts panel. I want to make an oscillator.

#7This is great for learning - you should consider a mode that switches to traditional schematic view so people can understand the corresponding circuit.

#8The competition might look ancient, but IMO, a 2D interface would be much more productive and easier to work with. This site is completely unusable for me in Firefox (it does work in Edge though).

3d does present some additional challenges, but we decided to go this route to reduce friction for beginners who might not understand how schematics or other abstract representations map to the real world circuits they're playing with

doesn't seem to work on chrome either
