Hey,

Are you interested in partnerships? I'm running pcbjam.com (web port of KiCad with collab, sharing, git, AI etc.) and I'm looking for a partner to do what EasyEDA is to JLC. Where can I find you?

Location: EU/Hungary Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: React, Node, Kubernetes, Scala, ProseMirror, Postgres, Firebase, AWS, Supabase, Wasm

Hey!

We’re Emergence Engineering, a small-ish dev shop from the EU. Part of our team is looking for work, we’ve been working for US & UK based startups for a while now. https://demo.pcbjam.com/ ( KiCad, a big desktop app's web port ) is our side project, and through that we've learned a lot about Wasm and the tech around it, we'd love to work on something similar.

Also good with ops, AI & rich text editors ( ProseMirror ).

We look for a place where we can make a difference and do interesting work with a lot of responsibility, the team is well balanced meaning that we have exploring / figuring out and executing types.

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 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.

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 usual "follow" features ( without the popups etc which doesn't really suit your usecase ), chat ( maybe voice chat? ).

Thanks!!

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 project" yet, just a first preview. I'm an engineer, doing things like this is "work", optimizing the bundle size is fun. Sorry.

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, just could not find the headspace to focus.

Again, thanks for the feedback, I'll take it!
