Thanks for your work on this, and for releasing it open source! I used to run Paul's app locally for peace of mind; now I self-host an instance of your version. Encoding the simulation in the URL is brilliant for sharing and teaching.

This is great, amazing work! I used the Falstad simulator at university when PSpice wasn't giving me nice results...

Very nice looking. Can't wait to give it a go. Was it difficult to port from java to javascript?

It is still in Java. I did the port using Google Web Toolkit which compiles Java to Javascript. The main work was to rework libraries available in native Java but not in GWT and to change to match a GWT event model.
It was originally developed as a Java applet by Paul Falstad. As Java in the browser got more and more troublesome I modified it to work with HTML 5 for a plug-in free experience. We agreed to release the new version as GPL: https://github.com/sharpie7/circuitjs1/network
