What happened
Web-based PCB boardview viewer for board-level repair. 14 formats: BVR1/3, BRD, BDV, BDV ASC, FZ, GenCAD, Mentor Neutral, XZZ, TVW, Allegro v15-v18, Altium, KiCad, EAGLE. GPU-accelerated, dockable panels, self-hosted via Docker. Stars: 51. Updated repository signal.
Why it matters
Repair technicians and hardware engineers who work with many board file formats could use a single browser-based viewer rather than several desktop tools. Self-hosting through Docker would let teams keep board data on their own infrastructure. Watch for signs of ongoing development and adoption, since the star count alone is a small early signal.
