Still on my KiCad browser product. We'll launch a private beta next week, and the open product in a few weeks.

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 from browser version

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.

To my former self two days ago: if you work almost a year on something take two days to polish a demo.

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 for "marketing". And yes, we'll have to

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 push this out. To be fair, this is not "the projec

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 against AI written copy / blogposts,

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 ( create a schematic => pcb => DRC checks, exports etc ).

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 the next version. The KiCad editor's state is

KiCad web port, with real time collaboration. I've been working on it for the last ~6 months on and off, I have some help now. It's close, we're launching in a few weeks ( hopefully this one ). It was an interesting project s

The way I've solved this issue with a long running build script is to have a logging scripts which redirects all outputs into a file and can be included with ``` # Redirect all output to a log file (re-execs script with redirection) so

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'm trying hard to live in the present...

I did check kicanvas, but I didn't know about circutsnips, I had the same idea for years! It's great!

I'm working on porting KiCad to the browser. It's a lot of sweat and tears, multithreading issues and some more sweat. I've updated a port of WxWidgets and now I support all the features KiCad needs with ~200 tests. Right now
