What it does

ProtoFlow is the new step zero for electronic design, built for individual engineers and teams. Through its powerful AI assistant, universal component search, custom component generation, and multiplayer collaboration tools, ProtoFlow optimizes the PCB design process, slicing hours off development. The service is free to use, offers a full-suite platform, and exports smoothly to software like KiCad and Altium, allowing users at any skill level to fully optimize their hardware designs.

ProtoFlow is the AI-native PCB design tool that eliminates tedious EDA tasks. Generate circuits with AI, import components from LCSC/DigiKey/Mouser, and export to KiCad. Free to use.

The AI-native desktop tool that gets you from blank canvas to a clean PCB, faster. Explain the board or block you want in plain language instead of starting from a blank schematic. ProtoFlow assembles the first pass, places key parts, and cleans up the repetitive early wiring work. Hand a cleaner project into KiCad or Altium so your real layout workflow starts further ahead. Search the parts you need from one place instead of bouncing between datasheets, catalogs, and tabs. Describe the circuit you want in plain language and get a cleaner first draft without starting from scratch. Clean up the first pass automatically so the draft is easier to read before deeper layout work. A desktop-first…from protoflow.ai

    I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

    Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  • A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

    Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
