I already added label and value to the components! (Not unit yet, but you can type latex in value field to add Latin unit) Welcome to try it and feel free to give me feedback! Thanks!

I already added drag and drop feature! Welcome to try it!

Electronics is a nightmare for every EE student, haha. It's the same for me too. I hope this tool can help more students and people understand electronics more easily.

Currently, I have a share function for notes. I plan to add a duplicate feature to let people copy others' notes into their accounts. Other export/download methods, including export to PDF, will be on the TODO list depending on users' feedback. Do you have any idea what kind of format is good for export/download?

Yes! Currently, I have just made it work so that I can take notes. There are three stages in my timeline:

1. From now until 7/31, it is alpha testing. I will test its basic functions during this stage. 2. Beta testing will start on 8/1. I will keep improving the basic functions and also develop the desktop app version during this stage. 3. When version 1.0.0 is officially launched, I will publish the desktop app. This is my plan :)

Thanks! It will keep improving it!

I fixed it. Thanks a lot! It only happens on the Demo page. Inside the circuit note, there is no such problem. I forgot to change the configuration on the Demo page. Anyway, there is no such problem now. Thanks a lot!

No problem. Thanks for your feedback!

Thanks for your feedback.

1. Some people also complain that it's hard to wire things, and I will think about a solution. Thanks! 2. It is also an item on my TODO list. I have a text block on the whiteboard as an alternative. I put this on my TODO list because I am afraid the position of the unit label is hard to control. It may overlap with surrounding components, so I currently use a free position text block instead. I will think about this topic more.

Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks. I am an ex EE turned Software Eng too, but I switch back to EE again. That's the reason why I really want to solve the problem :)

Thanks for your feedback! I think an EDA tool is much harder too implement.

1. Drag and drop is a really useful feature! Thanks for your advice. I use it everyday and not notice the annoying. 2. Automatic wire routing is a feature I try to improve in the future. 3. No problem. 4. Wire interconnection is an issue. I will think more about how to represent it.

Overall, thanks you very much. You feedback is really useful for me.

First, I pretty sorry that VisCircuit is unfriendly on mobile now. I currently focus on desktop web development and didn't spend too much time on mobile. For other feedbacks: 1. Timing diagram: It is a great advice! Thanks. Timing diagram is important for digital design. I wrote it down and plan to do in the future. 2. Data privacy: I totally agree, so I take data privacy at the first priority issue to make sure users data will be protected correctly. 3. I agree with you that the world needs a tool to draw circuits as easily as on a whiteboard. During my work, I always use PowerPoint to draw circuits, but it is not good enough. I will work hard to make VisCircuit an easy-to-use circuit diagram editor.

Thanks for your feedback! Welcome to try it at a computer.

Thanks for your feedback! 1. I wrote it down. I have plan to make my tool as plug-in for different text editor tool including VsCode or Obsidian. Now, I know someone want it on Jupyter notebooks. 2. Simulation is on my roadmap too. Even though, simulation is much hard than a note-taking tool, I will try it.

Thanks for your feedback!
