In first line this is for myself -- to motivate me to continue the
cleanup process and to ensure that my cleanups will not change the
intended behaviour...

Recently someone pointed me to one of these commercial Web-based editors -- this one is from Digikey called SchemeIt, see link at bottom of my
page. I can remember I have tested a similar tool about one year ago for a few seconds -- looked not really bad. Some people say that this kind
of Web-based tools is the future -- is someone really using it?

And schematics and PCB layout on smartphone and tablets -- I can
remember that some people said that that is the future. I still can not
really imagine how this should work, and I have not seen such Apps yet.
Is someone using it, and is it really the future? Or is someone of you
already working on such an App?
