EEWeb - Electrical Engineering Community

7 points by proee 16y ago

We're excited to announce that our flagship electrical engineering community EEWeb is now live. Our motivation for this site is to have a place for electrical engineers to call home. Each member of the EEWeb community can post their own projects and articles and follow other members with similar interests. We even have our own original electrical engineering comic called Return-to-Zero. Enjoy!

We're excited to announce the launch of EEWeb, our flagship electrical engineering community. If you're a hacker looking to learn a thing or two about hardware design, or are a full blow engineering professional that needs a place to call home, we hope you enjoy what we've put together. We even have our own original comic called "Return-to-Zero" that features some fun strips based around hardware design.

  Hopefully, you'll add some RSS feeds for your various sections, including the comic (with the images!). If a webcomic doesn't have an RSS feed, it doesn't really exist.

    Thanks, it's on the list.

Cool! I was a little turned off by some elements of the beta signup, but now that I actually get to see the site (not just screenshots), it looks pretty good. The app note search is a great feature; I've bookmarked it. Is an option to filter/re-arrange the pages on the list? I'm primarily interested in the community articles and discussions. The comic, quiz of the day [By the way, it's "How Much Do Resistor Tolerances Affect Your Gain?" (not Effect)] and site of the day would also be on the bottom or at the side. I'd scan through the recent appnotes occasionally to see if something interesting caught my eye, but I wouldn't want to see it all the time, and the press release section would definitely be gone. I assume that other users might want something different. Also, I notice the Digikey banners prominently featured at the top and bottom of every single page. Are you affiliated, or is this just an advertisement? The red sticks out from the otherwise easy to read black/blue/gray scheme, and I'd Adblock it if I could. I'll definitely be following it to see how the community forms. I hope that it gets a strong community following and lots of content!
