A replay of the editor on Pocket Science Lab v6, the schematic beside the board. A pointer presses Share, turns on the invite link, copies it and closes the dialog. Then Justin K., Charles H. and Michael G. come in, and their faces appear in the header. Michael G. draws a wire on the schematic from R60 to pin A5 of J12, the CC1 net. On the board Justin K. routes GND from R59 to a mounting hole, and Charles H. drags J12, the USB-C receptacle, inward and puts it back, while a ring round the canvas shows Inky G. editing.

Every hand, drawn.

Schematic · PCB

Everyone on a board works in plain sight. You see who is there, where their hand is and what it is doing.

  1. 01Who is here.

    Everyone on the board sits in the header, ringed in their colour.

  2. 02Their hand.

    Their cursor carries their name and points at the same part at any zoom.

  3. 03What they pick up.

    A selection is outlined in their colour, and a part they drag follows their hand.

  4. 04What they draw.

    A wire or a route shows each corner laid so far and a dashed line to the pen.

  5. 05What they see.

    Click a face to follow their view. A click, a scroll or Esc hands it back.
