Hi from Jonathan (cofounder). Thanks for the awesome detailed feedback. We hear you and are already working on (or have it on the near-term roadmap) almost all of this. I apologize for any frustration thus far. I really do.

Perhaps this will help until then: (1) You can click anywhere that isn't the splash screen (any dark area) to dismiss it. (2) You can jump straight to parts by URL https://circuithub.com/parts or (3) by the big button on the splash screen in the lower right.

No apology needed. Just keep doing cool stuff and I'll check back from time to time.

Thank you! I hope you will. Things are moving really quickly internally. In other news, we fixed the splash screen. It now permanently dismisses so you shouldn't see it too often. That was our intention we just didn't quite get it right the first time ;-)

I confirm only seeing the splash screen once more. Thanks. :-)

I feel silly even suggesting this, but have you considered some kind of 'like button' and a way to share comments on parts? I swear, I've never asked for such a feature before, I don't even have a FB account! :-)

Is there somewhere else can we circuit dreamers and designers chat about parts by number? For example, this search https://duckduckgo.com/?q=555+timer+comments doesn't turn up much for arguably one of the most well-known part numbers.

If I didn't know any better, I'd say you hacked into our white board software... ;-) Yes! It's all coming.
