If you don't mind using a desktop app, there are still many great tools for hobbyists and for teaching.

Recently I've used: Qucs: https://sourceforge.net/projects/qucs/

Circuitmod: https://sourceforge.net/projects/circuitmod

These were also in my bookmarks of tools I've explored: CEDAR Logic Simulator: https://sourceforge.net/projects/cedarlogic

Logisim: https://sourceforge.net/projects/circuit/

For teaching LogicWorks is still my favorite.

KiCAD 5 was recently released (congrats team!) and it got ngspice integration which sounds neat. Haven't yet had time to try it out, but what I've seen so far looks promising. Of course with SPICE (and really any simulator) the problem is creating/finding good models for your parts or even generic ones.
