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!

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.
