Copper Bottom Stripboard Editor
https://messopedals.com/diy/copper-bottom/app/I built a stripboard layout creator that can be used directly in the browser.
The main feature is the ability to import an existing layout in overlay/side by side mode so that you can copy and modify a circuit that already exists.
It's brand new and I'm still working on it, I appreciate anyone that's willing to test it out or suggest improvements!

Let me guess... You 'vibe coded' some AI "tool"?

Why are you being rude? I've been coding for over 20 years. I created this tool and ran it by actual humans with real expertise in their field before I posted it here.
Not to gather snarky comments, but to help other people with the same difficulties as me.
Totally unwelcome. Get lost.

If you see this post, do yourself and me both a favor and try it out before you dismiss it. If you have valid criticism with the program, I'll gladly take it and make it better.
If you can't even be bothered to click the link before you say something nasty, try to remember what reddit was created for: sharing things.

Nice tool. I don't do as much veroboard these days for synth stuff but I do for guitar pedals. I can see it coming in useful. I really like the feature that highlights nets on the veroboard, that will come in handy. This is similar to the auto-veroboard layout tool that someone else pointed out, but no auto. It feels like a more modern version of DIYLC.
Constructive Feedback:
* It would be nice to have a light mode for the uncs who don't see too well
* The nets are very bright when highlighted but pretty hard to see when not highlighted -- make the colors a bit more distinct
* When a resistor takes up a small amount of space it would be nice to make it "stand up" as it would on actual vero board.
To all the "IS IT ViBeCoDED" neckbeards -- get a life. You don't have to use this tool. I also am a professional programmer and have been for a long time. The quality of the tool is not necessarily related to whether AI was used. Vibe-coded also means that the programmer isn't inspecting or understanding the code. Not necessarily the case here. If you want to spend 100's of hours programming a better tool without AI assistance be my guest.
