wow, kicanvas looks great for sharing designs, is the idea that you use github for versioning your kicad folder (probably better than my current lazy dropbox option) and then you can just share the designs with people?

that is a cool website.

can you share designs privately with team members? it looks great for collaborating if it's got authentication.

These are great questions! I wonder how it works if you have a file which is private on GitHub but you’re logged in to GitHub and you’re able to view the file in your browser. Maybe kicanvas is sufficiently local to your machine that this would work.

Either way I know it is under active development so you could file a GitHub issue and ask about that! Link to the GitHub for it on the main page here:

https://kicanvas.org/

Can users share the schematics also?

Perhaps I'm not looking in the right place, but I can't find the button for it.

Anyway, this looks great.

Seems like you need to change the URL to point at a schematic file:

https://kicanvas.org/?github=https://github.com/Twisted-Fiel...

You can also upload a local file which was what I did. It didn't have a shareable link though so I assume it was local.

Ah OK, I misunderstood.
