Nate, thanks for sharing this - I actually posted this over here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44417587) a few days ago.
Regarding pricing, etc. - right now we're limiting users to 50 harnesses per account. There are no plans to charge for usage below this amount with the current features. I'm hoping people find the tool useful and we can use the feedback to improve it.

Re mate vs wire side, that's just my preference - no ambiguity in orientation!
Couple more ideas for the landing page:
- Provide links to examples of generated exports in the formats you support, so folks can get a feel for how it might integrate into their workflow.
- The elements under "Everything You Need for Cable Design" animate as though they're interactive, but clicking them does nothing. Confused me for a bit.
- Page is very hard to read on mobile.
Other thoughts:
- I wasn't able to figure out how to pan the editor view around.
- Adding some sort of json/yaml/xml import/export would open up a lot more workflow possibilities. For example, I want to associate a harness version with a git tag, without needing to manually make a copy of a harness version in the app. Git (and/or github) integration would be great. Honestly, even an opaque blob export would be tolerable.
To pan, click and hold the right mouse key (or wheel) and drag. Are you trying this from a tablet?
There’s now a blog section on the site: https://splice-cad.com/#/blog/splice-updates-july-2025 where we’re documenting changes, fixes, and future plans. The feedback from this post has been very helpful.
- Is this a passion project? Commercial? Is it free? Will it always be free? What's the pricing model? - How do I get in contact? - Is there a company behind this? - If I start using this, can I hold on to/export the data in usable form?
