Re: Routing algorithm used in PCB

 

Sorry, but i seriously doubt that there is anyone in this community that agrees with your cloud-hype. 
Tell me someone who does serious work with Google docs or codenvy.. Dont get me wrong, it is nice for community based stuff, such as teaching, learning, etc.. But kicad (ultimately) wants to be a serious commercial grade software that is not based on cloud technology. 
Anyone can See what Import The cloud-hype  in this market segment hast, when looking at circuitmaker or EAGLE since it was bought by autodesk.. Professionals are turning their back due to the weaknesses in cloud technology.
