Browser-Based Hardware Simulator
A web-based tool for designing and simulating hardware circuits using TypeScript, eliminating the need for JVM or Python toolchains. Target users are hobbyists, students, and embedded engineers who want to prototype circuit ideas instantly in a browser.
The rise of WebAssembly has finally made serious simulation workloads viable in a browser, and tools like Falstad's circuit simulator show real hobbyist demand, but that tool is aging and clunky — there's no modern, well-designed incumbent here. The $1k–5k/mo revenue band is honest: hobbyists and students convert poorly to paid plans, so reaching even that floor likely requires landing a handful of embedded engineering teams or courseware licensing deals with universities. The core technical challenge is enormous — accurate SPICE-level simulation in a browser is a years-long engineering problem, and a shallow simulator that can't handle real components will get dismissed immediately by the engineers who'd actually pay. The most likely failure mode is building something that satisfies neither audience: too limited for professionals, and too complex for hobbyists who'd rather just use existing free tools.
