Upverter

Upverter (acquired by the massive global titan Altium) is a fiercely agile, highly innovative, and deeply collaborative cloud platform. It operates as the heavy-weight direct rival to EasyEDA in the "Browser-Based Cloud PCB" space. While EasyEDA focuses on cheap Asian manufacturing, Upverter was built by Silicon Valley to bring modern, highly aesthetic, Git-style version control and collaborative workflows to electrical engineering. The absolute core superpower of Upverter is its "Component Concierge and GitHub-Style Collaboration." The most annoying part of PCB design is manually drawing component footprints. Upverter mathematically abstracts this. The engineer requests a part, and Upverter's massive global team mathematically physically draws the footprint for them in hours. It also features true 'branching and merging' for hardware designs. Because it completely modernized the archaic workflows of hardware design, offering unparalleled cloud collaboration, massive on-demand component creation, and deep Altium backing, it is heavily favored by modern, distributed tech startups and highly agile hardware teams.
