I was thinking that many people on Twitter follow me because of the retrocomputing or electronic DIY stuff. I will do a short thread about #FidoCadJ, as it I dedicated more or less 10 years of my spare time to it. #opensource #gplv3 
First of all, #FidoCadJ is a vector drawing program with a vast library of electric symbols, not a full-fledged electronic #CAD. There is no netlist concept, what you see is everything you have. This means that the program is very simple and immediate to use.
#FidoCadJ will not be the right tool to build a very complex circuit. #opensource tools exist (like #Kikad) and do their job well. #FidoCadJ does not help you to do a professional project, automatically extracting the bill of materials, nor it has autorouting tools.
