This is the future of hardware! Made couple of boards already.
jbarrozo··on Collaborative Circuit Design & Simulation in the Browser
I'm a Flux user. There are two ways Flux provides value to my company. First, we improved our workflow, gone are the days when each of us was just throwing our work over the fence to the next. Second, we spent less time theorizing about whether every change will break the circuit or not. Regarding the simulator, I tried using LTSPICE and other simulators in the past but the workflow was always cumbersome and the limited availability of simulation models for parts combined with the very steep learning curve of building my own made it impractical. Flux documents are our virtual workbenches now, where we can have multiple variations of design set up next to each other, with virtual testing gear and tools. Regarding collaboration, man what a game changer! We now can just quickly share a link and get our heads together over a design decision and implement a solution. The founders, Matthias, Chris, and Lance, didn't ask me to write this. I chose to write it because it's a great product that I think can help a lot of teams & people.

Wonder if you can share a private proxy that I could use? I'm been using VPN port forwarding service to tackle echolink port 5198 and 5199 requirement.

Indeed!

I'm a ham myself. EchoLink is still considered one of the most reliable VOIP in my opinion because being it's analog at its input and output. The downside of it is, it's entirely made for windows OS. This come svxlink to the rescue for linux guys. C4FM is one of the branded protocols out there; d-star, dmr, P25 etc. If you don't have the radio to do this protocol, you're out of the game.

SVXLINK is just a controller running on a raspberry pi, you still need to connect a radio for its rx and tx. I'm using low power chinese-made ht to it, and it act as my personal repeater at home.

jbarrozo··on Civilization VI UI, but made in Webflow (a no-code tool)
I looked at it thru webflow designer, I was like, you're amazing!! I can't count the hours it took for you to get this.
