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!

Looking at the long list of the things you had to do to get this working .. and you couldn't "find" the energy to write some text for the landing page yourself? For a project you want people to buy from you? You supposedly put in all that effort, and built these sites around it, and building a business around it, and you couldn't deal with writing descriptions of it yourself? Seriously?

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.

Please think about how this can be set up to track upstream Kicad. Hopefully you have a small adaptation layer and some clever build, not wholesale changes to the code.

I teach HS classes where a lot of students end up doing some pretty serious PCB layout. We already benefit from MCAD that runs in the browser-- KiCad running in the browser would be a major boon to reduce setup requirements for student computers.

Thinking about how this could play with revision control and KiCad documents (footprint/symbol library, schematic, board, production gerbers) in Git repositories would be really helpful for my use case, too.

Congratulations- this looks really slick!

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.

Eh. This isn’t a finished project. Designing and writing marketing content requires a completely different headspace to when you’re working the product, and isn’t something you can context switch easily.

I only have a problem with obvious AI marketing pages when it’s a finished product that’s on sale.

To my former self two days ago: if you work almost a year on something take two days to polish a demo.
