Thanks for reporting, Gia - we added a repo to track issues on Github here: https://github.com/splice-cad/splice-cad-app/issues

Thanks for the feedback, Gia - we were able to get a couple of the items on your list fixed in an update today.
To pan, click and hold the right mouse key (or wheel) and drag. Are you trying this from a tablet?
There’s now a blog section on the site: https://splice-cad.com/#/blog/splice-updates-july-2025 where we’re documenting changes, fixes, and future plans. The feedback from this post has been very helpful.

Hi all -
Nate, thanks for sharing this - I actually posted this over here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44417587) a few days ago.
Regarding pricing, etc. - right now we're limiting users to 50 harnesses per account. There are no plans to charge for usage below this amount with the current features. I'm hoping people find the tool useful and we can use the feedback to improve it.
You can can get in touch here: [email protected]
Re mate vs wire side, that's just my preference - no ambiguity in orientation!

Continuing to make some additions and changes to ease use and improve the appearance of the harness design:
[1] Added many standard DSub, M8/M12, and USB connector outlines/pin arrangements to aid in the creation of connectors not currently in the library
[2] In concert with the addition of more connector outlines, added a Magic Button on the Connector and Cable Creator pages that pulls all fields for an entered MPN from Digikey or Mouser. Now, you can just enter your part number (like CDM806-04A-MP-F011-67 for this CUI connector, https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/same-sky-formerly...) and the fields will populate automatically. If a standard outline is recognized, you have the option to load the outline and pin arrangement too. For cables, this will pull the core count and other cable properties.
[3] The Harness Builder now features a grid and snap-to functionality to align items. You can also share a link (ie, https://splice-cad.com/#/shared/lgcy2htze9zlqs4igdgycfncy98f...) to a harness design that a collaborator can view or clone/edit).

Looks great! Your editor design is beautiful.

Thanks for the comment...yes, I've had that thought many times. There's on demand fab for about everything else, but no low-volume cable house with auto-quoting and a nice design interface.
Check out https://www.hi-harnesses.com/ - limited parts at this point but the closest thing I know of.

I've been working on Splice CAD – an in-browser cable-harness designer.
Building cables for multiple personal and professional projects, I was frustrated by having to cobble together harness diagrams in Illustrator or Visio, cut snippets from from PDFs for connector outlines, map pin-outs, wire specs, cable constructions, mating terminals, and manually updating an Excel BOM.
Splice gives you:
An SVG canvas to drag-and-drop any connector or cable from your library to quickly route and bundle wires. Assign signal names to wires or cable cores.
Complete part data Connector outlines, pin-outs, terminal selections (by connector family & AWG), cable core colors & strand counts, wire AWG/color.
Automated BOM & exports parts-ready diagrams, wiring drawings, and a clean BOM in SVG, PNG, or PDF.
Connector & Cable Creators. Connectors or cables not in the existing library can be added with an optional outline and full specs (manufacturer, MPN, series, pitch, positions, IP-rating, operating temp, etc.), then publish privately or share publicly.
