This is a great start, well done!

Eventually it would be amazing to import (for example) a buck converter circuit with a wide voltage input, fixed output suitable for RF, and have it automatically check available components at JLCPCB and then lay it all out with, adhering to best practices (ground planes & capacitors right next to pins etc.) If the available components change, it can tweak the footprints and layout without having to start from scratch.

Good luck, I’ll be following closely!

For sure the goal! Our current component tool will find components that are available on JLC, in stock and to your spec, no more looking for resistor part numbers. The layout side is going to be exciting, we are just scratching the surface there.
