The universal component search alone is worth it, found obscure parts in seconds that usually take me digging through Mouser and DigiKey. Clean interface and the AI assistant actually understands circuit context instead of just spitting generic suggestions.
Would love to see a collaborative mode where a teammate can review and comment on a schematic in real time, kind of like Google Docs but for circuit blocks. Also a version history view would help a lot when iterating on a design across days.
honestly this looks really promising for schematic work, the export options are great. one thing that would help me out though is adding a version history or diff tool so i can see what changed between iterations of a schematic, since i tend to iterate a lot before finalizing a design
The KiCad and Altium export is a nice touch, but a version history with diffs would make this so much more useful. Being able to roll back or compare iterations of a schematic without leaving the app would save a lot of headaches, especially on longer projects.
Took it for a quick spin on a simple sensor circuit and the component search actually pulled up obscure parts without me digging through five tabs. The export to KiCad landed cleanly with the nets intact, which is rare for free tools like this.
The universal component search is a really smart call, that alone used to eat so much time when I was pulling together schematics in KiCad. Love that it exports cleanly into existing workflows too.
Honestly the universal component search is a game changer, found parts in like two seconds that usually take me forever to dig up. Slick that it drops right into KiCad too.
