Looks great, but pretty difficult to work with. Would be nice to be able to switch to top view to see more clearly where you're plugging things.

You can click the background and drag to rotate the view

It's still clunky though. It's a great, cool thing that OP built but just not very practical.

Super cool. Wonder if we can input the circuit as code.

There used to be some really good web-based SPICE interpreters but I can't find them now. This was before javascript ate everything, so you would enter the netlist, click a button, and get a GIF or the current at a specified terminal or whatever

the 3D look is cool but makes it harder to put stuff together

I appreciated that smoke comes out of the battery if you short it :)

Edit: I am ex EE. I will note that it's horrible using this view. It is marginally more horrible than using breadboards in reality. Schematics exist because reality tends to suck or have inconsistencies. For example TO-99 packages come in different pin orders, so 2N3904 has the opposite order to a BC547. Also breadboards tend not to have full length bus bars depending on vendors. At least though in this form it's an ideal representation though which doesn't have parasitic capacitors, inductors, dodgy contacts and no ground plane all over it.

It is good fun though :)

OK the smoke was really funny

A more mature version of this is "CRUMB" found on steam, it costs money but it's got a lot of great features.
