The universal component search is genuinely faster than digging through library files, and the AI assistant caught a net I forgot to connect on my first schematic. Exporting straight into KiCad worked without any cleanup, which is rare.
Honestly the universal component search is way faster than digging through library files in KiCad, saved me a solid chunk of time on a recent project. The AI suggestions were actually useful too, not just generic stuff.
The AI assistant sounds genuinely useful, especially for new users who get stuck on part selection. One thing that would help me a lot though is a built-in version history for schematics, so I can compare changes and roll back if an AI suggestion doesn't quite work out.
One thing that would make ProtoFlow even better is a built-in library of common reference designs or starter schematics. When you're new to PCB design, having a few solid templates to fork from (like a basic ESP32 dev board or a simple buck converter) would save a ton of time and help people learn good schematic practices right from the start.
Took ProtoFlow for a quick spin and the universal component search actually found obscure parts I usually hunt down across five different libraries. Exporting straight to KiCad without manually remapping symbols saved me a solid chunk of time.
The universal component search is genuinely useful and the AI suggestions felt surprisingly on point. Smooth export to KiCad is a huge plus for someone like me who bounces between tools.
The universal component search feels like the real standout here. Jumping between datasheets and libraries is usually where schematic work grinds to a halt, and building that as a first-class piece of the flow instead of an afterthought is a smart call.
