I gave this a go recently, nice work!
In a few hours I was able to get a really nice looking UI starting from an example.
I got a bit frustrated when it came to managing state though. I struggled to mutate and view the same state across all web users, instead of creating state per user that connects.
However this is still a great framework I’ll definitely revisit in the future!
Just to offset the negative comments on here, I think what you did is great! I don't think people appreciate the 1.5 years of individual effort you put into this and the demo looks like something I would find genuinely very useful. This clearly has lots of potential!
I would honestly prefer paying for it, perhaps with a cut-down free version (perhaps using cached data only?) without sign-up to try it out, so one day you can work on it comfortably and doesn't require commitment for me to try out.
However I'm sure you'll refine it in the years to come considering how well you've done so far. Keep up the good work!
Really amazing work, well done! Having something like this when growing up would've made electronics so much more accessible.
I can't think of anyone I know close to me that would really appreciate this gift, so I'm with another comment on here that gifting it online somehow would be something I'm interested in. I'd feel happy knowing I'm supporting a great product and helping the less fortunate of the younger generation get better access to fun educational tools.
Yeah I was thinking something like this too, hopefully someone makes this if it hasn't been already.
If the diagrams had some linkage to your code you'd be able to see what a failed unit test means in the overall context of the app, what code is used in which block, what protocol is used for connections between blocks, a summary of what each block does etc...
A monitoring tool as you say - and since you'll use it often you'll probably keep it up to date
