As an author and teacher, I draw a lot of circuits. So, I needed a way to draw a lot of circuits quickly, and with a nice-looking result.

Circuit Canvas is a web-based app that makes it easy and quick to draw circuits that also look good. It has two modes: Schematic and Layout.

Schematic is for drawing schematics (duh).

Layout is for drawing how to connect the circuit. It could be on a breadboard, similar to Tinkercad and Fritzing. It could be on a perfboard/stripboard/veroboard. It could be without any board at all, just wires.

You can share your circuits with others so that they can check them out or duplicate them to make their own version. I'm planning on making it possible for multiple people can work on the same project (like with Google docs) but need to fix more basic stuff first.
