I built this for PCB designers who want feedback on their board designs. Getting a second pair of eyes on a circuit is incredibly valuable, especially for hobbyists and students who don't have a team to review their work.
Designers can upload their KiCad projects and the platform renders both 2D schematics and 3D board models directly in the browser. Reviewers can pin comments to specific locations on the design, a capacitor value that seems off, a trace that's too narrow, a missing via. Like code review, but for hardware.
The platform was live at circuitscope.io but I took it offline because of low traffic. The code is fully open source: View on GitHub.
The original app has been decommissioned, but you can try a client-side recreation of the review interface here: Try the demo. It shows a sample PCB layout with pre-placed review comments, click the pins to see the discussion threads.
