This is great for learning - you should consider a mode that switches to traditional schematic view so people can understand the corresponding circuit.

I believe another web-based tool which can do this already is https://www.flux.ai https://www.flux.ai I've noodled around with it and I like it, but I actually find working with pencil, paper, and the actual components to be more efficient than panning and zooming around a 3d environment. It's not always an option so these simulators are very useful, but I've come to realize I'm far better off by planning not to use these tools, I guess.

  flux founder here thanks for the plug! We are working on making our schematic editor so good...you'll never go back to paper :)

    I’m realizing I didn’t give flux the credit I should have. I actually interviewed to work on it because as far as I can tell, this stuff is the future. So that aside, it doesn’t fit my workflow well today but I don’t doubt that it will, and for many people it already does. I’m glad to hear good things are coming! I’ll definitely keep checking in. Apologies for being dismissive of the hard work your team does, especially after seeing the kinds of technical challenges you take on and working with similar technologies myself these days. High performance, user-friendly collaborative tools in the browser are not a free lunch, and what flux does today is already impressive.

      Thanks for the kind words…it’s a true labor of love Also no hard feelings…I agree that we are early and that there is still a lot of work ahead of us. Schematic UX hasn’t gotten as much love as it needs because there was so much other stuff to figure out first…we just needed something that worked in the very early days And now we get to come back to it and make things like wiring truly great

Yeah we'll likely create a schematic view! Thanks
