I'll second the motion for KiCAD footprints and symbols!
There is not a good central repository for KiCAD parts, and on the client side the process for managing components or creating new ones is very convoluted. KiCAD is tremendously useful, but its creators need to take a serious look at usability. A cloud-based parts library would be a killer feature, along with drop-in public domain circuit "modules" (comprised of several to many connected components).
- reportingsjr 12y agoThe development version of KiCad actually pulls the footprint library from github. It is significantly updated and quite a lot better than it used to be. Still has a long way to go, but it really is so much better than it was even a year ago.
