Haven't designed something for about a year... before setting up Eagle (now part of Fusion 360), my libraries and my scripts, I was wondering, if there were alternatives available and stumbled over EasyEDA. I played around with it for two hours or so and found the libraries to be quite good (checked for some parts, usually only used by stompbox builders, e.g. BTDR reverb bricks or PT 2399 delay chips).

Findings so far:
- Schematic drawing is cool enough for me
- Placement of components is ok as well
- Online Autorouting seem to be limited, but there is an option for a browser plugin (need to check)
- I think there is no limitations in terms of PCB sizes (I might be wrong).
- Visualization of the PCB is available (probably including components)

Anybody who migrated to this online tool? There is an installation version available as well, which I haven't tried...
