- Beginner electronics and DIY hardware makers
- Worth noticing
- Four apps offer demo modes with simulated scopes, meters, or boards; some workflows still require real hardware.
Field notes
The launcher opens each app in its own window, and the homepage describes how their work can connect across a project. Examples include designing a board in Wirie, shaping a case in Makie, and using Tracie, Scopie, or Meterie to inspect a build. Teaching mode explains controls; the page also says several apps can be tried in demo mode. The project labels itself alpha v0.7.0 and invites bug reports through GitHub.
