  I love that Firefox is the best.I don't use kicad. But, this project, as a web-first version of kicad, seems like it offers the best opportunities to create a shared learning community. Is that part of the long term goal?I would love to experiment with kicad, but I learn best through watching others and asking questions. Can I do that with this? Is there a way I could "watch" other sessions as the build progresses? Or, chat about what I see there with other people interested in learning and teaching?Very nice work!

  To open a demo board click "Open" in the Projects/Demo board section then "Open in PCB Editor" at demo.kicad_pcb in Files.Next time I'll make a smoother demo...

  I can totally see pcb manufacturers like JLC integrating this into their websites, with a set of customized design rules and an order button.

  This is really cool. I think a lot of people will initially dismiss your demo as ‘slop’ unless the landing page drops some of the Claude-isms (text and design) because it’s clear this is a project with passion in it, but the demo page and landing page both look like something Claude might’ve made with a single prompt.

  Kudos! This is impressive work. Even the 3D viewer is working.

  Small suggestion, it would be nice to see the total size of the download during the first load (sry I am on a slow metered connection).

  So you can easily get it to work in the browser, but the dozens of core developers can't get it to work properly on Wayland[1]? Something smells fishy...[1] https://www.kicad.org/blog/2025/06/KiCad-and-Wayland-Support...
