It is! I have been using it with TinyGo, it was a delight.

i use this to teach children electronics, it's amazing, the only thing which is not idea is mobile support

if you're building a similar tool for browser-simulation please, pleaaaaaaase:

do not require me to have an account to enter to simulate, this reduces friction 100000x

i work with children

trust me

100% this. Had a class using Microsoft’s MakeCode last year, which pushes Github integration for sharing code - which seemed like a really cool concept for a group project they were working on. So I have the class follow the link from Microsoft MakeCode - to Microsoft Github. But Github doesn’t use the accounts that they were using for MakeCode, so it prompted them to create new accounts. Guess which class of kids immediately had 90% of their Github accounts inexplicably locked on creation? Spent a chunk of time wrestling with that issue.

I think we wound up merging their stuff by hand. Probably carried on floppy disks. Like savages.

Used this heavily for designing some electronics for a friend's Boba Fett cosplay. Absolutely invaluable.

Would I be able to use this to emulate WLED? That would be a huge time saver

Kind of off topic, but is it possible to simulate peripherals with QEMU?

For example: suppose that I'm emulating some microcontroller running my firmware. On the actual board, this firmware will interact with a sensor. Is it doable to create a virtual hardware device simulating the sensor and connect its pins to my microcontroller?
