Minor annoyance: Scrolling this webpage on iOS, when I reach certain scroll positions, videos randomly open in fullscreen even if I didn't tap on anything.

It happens to me on many sites too, I'm not sure what causes it. Seems to mostly happen in Firefox iOS

This is awesome. What’s your plan for pricing? In my opinion: you should bundle this as an offline electron app that can save to the filesystem and get integrated into existing PLM. and/or sell a team plan that offers cloud design & library sync … and partner with that YC company doing wire harness machines for a “buy now” button

Thanks Chris!

I intend to keep the current functionality (50 harness/assembly designs per account) free. A collaboration feature is coming soon that will allow creating teams and sharing harnesses with specific accounts - we may charge here at some tier but this is TBD.

I was unaware of the YC company (https://www.loombotic.com/ I think) - thanks for pointing me to it.

> Show HN: Splice – CAD for Cable Harnesses and Electrical Assemblies Download ?

Hi -

Download as in run the app locally or download a design?

If the former, that's not currently possible.

If the latter, you can use the Download button on the harness builder (top floating button menu) to choose an available format for an engineering drawing, diagram, or BOM or choose JSON or WireVIZ YAML; see the Export and Documentation section here: https://splice-cad.com/#/tutorial

Can it document modular synthesizer patch configurations?

Interesting application - not sure the visualization currently lends itself well to that. My first approach would be to make the modules components and then arrange them to mimic the actual appearance. We don't currently have text on the component creator so labeling may be tough.

I'll put something together with the current features and share here.
