Please think about how this can be set up to track upstream Kicad. Hopefully you have a small adaptation layer and some clever build, not wholesale changes to the code.
I teach HS classes where a lot of students end up doing some pretty serious PCB layout. We already benefit from MCAD that runs in the browser-- KiCad running in the browser would be a major boon to reduce setup requirements for student computers.
Thinking about how this could play with revision control and KiCad documents (footprint/symbol library, schematic, board, production gerbers) in Git repositories would be really helpful for my use case, too.
Congratulations- this looks really slick!
- ViktorEE 2mo agoThanks, 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 from browser version is shareable footprint/symbol libraries (private, public etc.), and organizations (with their own libs etc.). We're not 100% clear on the details yet. If you have the time reach out to me at viktor dot vaczi at emergence-engineering.com, I'd love to hear what you need.
