Hi Kenneth. Looks like a good foundation! I'll keep an eye on it for sure. I've been using Crumb Simulator to build Ben Eater's SAP-1 computer. Do you plan to have a similar level of functionality for this?

Also, curious if you can comment on the state of the SPICE used for this. I see, e.g., that you have an astable multivibrator in the examples. Will this produce the same voltage levels and transition behavior that you would see in a real world circuit? I ask because I've built the same circuit in EveryCircuit, and while the macro behavior is close enough, it doesn't accurately reproduce what I get on a real breadboard from a signals level. In comparison, Multisim Live gets it right, but runs rather slow (in particular, pausing for a long time during the transition state with a lot of analog behavior to sort out).

Also curious what you have planned for visualization of signals.
