Why I Built a Browser-Based Circuit Editor (SchemaLite)

🧠 Why? As an electronics engineer working in the automotive industry, and someone who also teaches embedded systems at university, I’ve been dealing with circuit diagrams for years. But there’s one problem that kept coming back again and again: There was no simple way to quickly create clean circuit diagrams for presentations or documentation. ⚡ The problem Since my early days during my electronics degree (around 10 years ago), I’ve used many tools: Professional EDA tools (KiCad, etc.) Simulation software General diagram tools And they all share the same issue: Too complex for quick diagrams Not focused on visual clarity Or designed mainly for simulation, not presentation Sometimes, I just wanted to quickly sketch a circuit that: looks clean is easy to understand and is ready to drop into slides or docs But that workflow didn’t really exist. 💡 The idea So I decided to build something focused on one single goal: A fast, simple way to create good-looking circuit diagrams. No simulations
