A bit of previous discussion from launch day (2 weeks ago): http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3644160

We were subsequently covered by Slashdot, Engadget, Hack a Day, EDN,... so we've seen plenty of traffic over the last few days!

A sample of user feedback we've heard: https://www.circuitlab.com/blog/2012/03/05/t-1-week-a-post-l...

can you make the wiring a bit more fluid? and maybe add on some kind of "snap" indication? like if i want to connect two components that aren't in the same x or y axis i can just click on one terminal and then on the other, and the wire will snap in place. but overall, this is a great tool for cranking out a quick circuit diagram. good stuff

If the circuit editor is launched without cookies enabled, a message is displayed that users have to accept cookies in order to guard against cross-site request forgeries. I didn't get that impression from the Wikipedia article linked from the message. Is the claim disingenuous or am I missing something?

I remember back when i was learning electronics i used a circuit simulator. One would place circuits on a virtual board, connect up the wires, press play then see a realtime simulation of how the circuit would function including current flow, voltage, etc. It even laid out circuits for you! Really, it was fun to use.

In comparison this fails the fun test.

I am also missing the real-time simulation, after seeing Bret Victor's talk and his demo.

I wish I knew how to make circuits, because that looks like fun!

I'd rather build it and see - it's more fun.

damn...this is so great....i always wanted this.... i dont need ny tools now....:D

I would upvote this 700,000 if I could.

I absolutely love the application's idea and the implementation.

Could you add text support? I want to be able to label the in/outputs of the digital logic gates. Great web service, thanks!
