Hey Product Hunt! I’m Mihai, co-founder of siliXon. This started as a passion project while I was studying at Cambridge. Someone asked me what I disliked most about my time in industry, and it was easy to pinpoint it: the software. In industry, we spent a lot of time in LTspice and EasyEDA, I spent hours just trying to get the tools to let me do what I already knew I wanted. So the first version was just a nicer interface for designing circuits. Then we won a hackathon, and the goal got much bigger: let the whole world design electronics, not only engineers. That’s what siliXon is today. You describe a device in plain English, and Rocky, our design agent, asks what it needs to know. Then it picks real parts you can actually buy, places them, draws the schematic and routes the board. You can edit everything in 2D and 3D or just ask Rocky to change it. Every board has to pass engineering checks before you send it off to be made, and the design files are yours. To be upfront: we’re in early beta. We've grown the team to almost 10 people after closing our funding round in April. Right now siliXon makes 2- and 4-layer boards and works best on mostly digital designs. Analogue support is still limited, so check your board carefully before you order it. I’d love to hear from you: - What’s the most frustrating part of designing a PCB for you? - What’s the first board you’d build with siliXon? I’ll be in the comments all day, and our Discord is open if you get stuck. https://discord.gg/gt9ymnn9s
