Website was not pleasant to use on mobile, I couldn't really see much, and the demo was definitely not mobile friendly. At least on a pixel 6.

I like the idea. I take it as an all in one lab notebook for electronics. You might consider adding in timing diagram tools, and an easy way to copy/paste scope shots or similar, but this seems useful.

Being clear about ownership of information posted to the site is pretty important. I'd hate to see my design data shared without permission or used to train your algorithm.

I've been wishing for years for a way to draw circuits as easily as I do on a whiteboard. Schematic capture doesn't have to be as miserable as experience as it is, but I don't have the time to make that till. Maybe you do.

I'll try to remember this for next time I'm at a computer, the Idea is pretty cool.

First, I pretty sorry that VisCircuit is unfriendly on mobile now. I currently focus on desktop web development and didn't spend too much time on mobile. For other feedbacks: 1. Timing diagram: It is a great advice! Thanks. Timing diagram is important for digital design. I wrote it down and plan to do in the future. 2. Data privacy: I totally agree, so I take data privacy at the first priority issue to make sure users data will be protected correctly. 3. I agree with you that the world needs a tool to draw circuits as easily as on a whiteboard. During my work, I always use PowerPoint to draw circuits, but it is not good enough. I will work hard to make VisCircuit an easy-to-use circuit diagram editor.

Thanks for your feedback! Welcome to try it at a computer.
