I've been using the product off and on for the past few months and overall have had a very positive experience. However, I think it would benefit from a more mature range of simulation capabilities and component inventory.

It would be great if the product incorporated the real-time parameter variations you get from the falstad simulator [1] in order to get a better intuition for what's going on. It would also help if the simulation computation time was greatly reduced.

It's an annoyance to have to drop a generic component (e.g., NPN transistor) and not see my part of choice in the options and have to manually go dig through my papers and find the datasheet and look up the parameters. It just distracts from what I'm try to do- save myself time.

Overall, I think that the product needs to target the non-professional segment that has long surpassed beginner status. Essentially, experienced hobbyists that are looking for an online alternative to the more expensive professional solutions. For beginners, they can use the Mattel styled product Fritzing [2] on the desktop to mock out breadboards and circuit diagrams.

Thanks! Deep component library and expanded simulation capabilities are our top requests and are definitely where we're going next.
