I recently discovered Flux, and the sublayout system is awesome. However, both the schematic and PCB GUI are extremely difficult to use. In particular, the PCB tab even basic movements are complicate to use like rotating components, and text corrections could be improved for better usability.

The schematic is very dark and can be hard to read with the black background. Would be nice with a "Light mode" in addition to the current dark mode.

When dealing with manufacturing is important to be able to know which version was manufactured. It's currently possible to use the version ID, but it'd be great if we could add human-readable names/tags to the version history.

When I click on something on the canvas, I expect to also see it in the object list. So I'd like the object list to scroll so the selected item is in view. Flux does this but inconsistently, and I can't understand the logic. Just make it always instead of sometimes and it'll be better!

As a user, I found the working principle of Flux for electronics projects to be lacking. I suggest enhancing this aspect to provide a better user experience. Additionally, hiring more employees could potentially improve the product's quality and efficiency.

To support users coming in from several platforms, it seems much better to use the hotkeys that they are accustomed to use in their regular Offline Schematics Creator. So instead of using Flux specific new keys that are pole opposite to what everyone is used to, why not keep it simple and easy to adjust. For starters, hit the"Space Bar" or an "R" to rotate a component. "F" to Flip a component etc.

Add a high contrast color pallete for folks like myself who have some degree of color blindness

It's not possible to undo the movement of a metamodule using Command Z, the Undo menu item, or the Change History. So if someone intentionally or accidentally moves a label for a pin on schematic, they cannot easily undo that action.

Imagine plugins with coda/notion. Then you can have documentation that lives with the document. V0 could just be html embed. V1 could have link data from tables to comments. V2 could create tables inside coda from problems panel, properties, etc. Another dope plugin would be E&M field simulators for the PCB. This would be similar to how OnShape provides FEA analysis/advanced shaping tools (they don't).

When exporting an image for printing a schematic or board image the colors should be inverted that the lines are black and the background is white
