       Show HN: VisCircuit - A Note-Taking Website for Electronics and
       Circuits
        
       Hi, everyone. I created a note-taking website for electronics and
       circuits where you can draw circuit diagrams and write text notes
       at the same time.  I am a Digital IC designer, and I self-study
       different types of analog and digital circuits a lot. However, I
       found a problem. Circuits have many different architectures and are
       hard to memorize due to numerous experiential tips. I want to
       document what I learn in my note app, but I found there is no
       method for me to easily draw circuit and block diagrams alongside
       text notes.  This issue has bothered me for a long time, from my
       master's school to my current working life. I decided to solve it,
       so I created a note-taking website specifically for electronics and
       circuits, called VisCircuit.  With VisCircuit, you can easily draw
       circuit diagrams, block diagrams, and write text notes
       simultaneously. I have already used it for two weeks and have noted
       down things I find hard to remember, such as SRAM, amplifier
       circuits, and PCB components of Arduino and Raspberry Pi. I found
       this tool really useful for memorizing knowledge about electronics
       and circuits.  Currently, I have opened VisCircuit for alpha
       testing, and I want to let some people use it and give me feedback.
       Feel free to try it, and I will really appreciate what you think
       about this project. Leave any suggestions for improvement. Thank
       you very much.

       | 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.

       | Second is adding simulation.
