Exciting times: Our manufacturing partner @aislerhq (https://aisler.net/) just became a Silver level sponsor of #LibrePCB! Thank you for sharing our vision of simplifying hardware development since we met the first time at FOSDEM 2018 
#LibrePCB is continuing its incremental migration from #Qt to #Slint!
Their latest PR includes 
video demos of the progress.
A great example of Slint in a complex desktop app

#LibrePCB has a new sponsor! We are very happy to welcome @partsbox in our community. Check out their electronic parts inventory system: https://partsbox.com/
#LibrePCB has taken the first step in its UI overhaul by replacing the Qt-based Control Panel with one built using Slint 
#MadeWithSlint
More to come as they integrate Slint further

#LibrePCB 1.3.0 released with an interactive HTML BOM export, KiCad v9 compatibility, various fixes and initial use of #Rust. Details here: https://librepcb.org/blog/2025-03-24_release_1.3.0/
And yesterday I've ordered by very first PCB!
a trivial one that I could have easily done with wires on perfboard (actually, a variation of one I've done a few times on perfboard), if I had not been out of the right size of perfboard and not wanting to bother with cutting a bigger one down to size :D
but I have wanted to try my hand at that for some time, but was somewhat intimidated by the whole thing, and as usual doing it in anger is good at overcoming intimidation :D
anyway, the point of this post is to say thank you to #librePCB for making the whole process quite smooth and to @federico3 for maintaining it in debian :D

#LibrePCB, the open-source PCB design tool, received a grant from #NLNet to develop version 2.0. They're switching to Rust 
and using #Slint for their UI — we're proud to see them choose our toolkit.

Great news: The #LibrePCB project receives a second grant from the NGI0 Commons Fund!
The goal of the next year will be to work on LibrePCB 2.0. Planned key updates include schematic buses, KiCad library import, interactive HTML BOM, and several other features.
Additionally, we are planning to slowly move from C++ towards #Rust. Right now, we are experimenting with a rewrite of the complete UI using the Slint framework.

Any #librePCB users out there? Thinking of learning it - but if I'm gonna use it for guitar stuff, the absence of a 3PDT switch is a dealbreaker & I can't find a guide or tutorial that actually explains how to build a library element like that...
(for the record, Circuit JS lets you add poles to a switch component, making this addition a breeze - but obviously it has no PCB builder)
#LibrePCB (a new #PCB CAD under GPLv3) is now packaged in Debian Sid: https://packages.debian.org/unstable/librepcb
It is happily building on 15 architectures, including RISC-V. Enjoy!
#LibrePCB 1.1 just got released adding:
- Live parts information
- EAGLE project import
- Interactive device pinout assignment
- Improved support for dark themes
- Qt6, 64-bit Windows releases, offline Installer
Our #LibrePCB development chat, which has so far been on IRC and Telegram, is now bridged to Matrix as well! Feel free to join the discussion at https://matrix.to/#/#librepcb-dev:matrix.coredump.ch
Hat schonmal jemand von euch mit #LibrePCB einen Schaltplan erstellt und ICs verwendet die nicht in den Bibliotheken vorhanden sind?
Bei dem Umfang der dort bisher drin ist scheint mir das ein offensichtlicher UseCase, aber ich sehe nicht wie ich das am einfachsten machen kann...
Bin für Tipps und Boosts in der #maker community dankbar.
