🎉 LibrePCB 2.0 is out!
#LibrePCB is a free, cross-platform application for drawing schematics and designing PCBs.
With version 2.0, the UI migrated from #Qt to #Slint, bringing a refreshed interface focused on productivity.
We’re proud to see #Slint used in a large-scale, full-featured desktop application 💙
I am very proud to announce the release of LibrePCB 2.0.0 today, after 10 months of hard work! The implementation of a completely new UI with modern technologies marks the beginning of a new era in the history of LibrePCB. But there are also many other improvements and new features, check out the details below.

@ed dopo *mesi* ho ripreso in mano le strisce a led da mettere sui pensili della sala, ho visto accendere una striscia *senza che fondessero né la breadboard né i relativi jumper* tramite cui il tutto era collegato al microcontrollore e poi ho aperto #LibrePCB e iniziato a disegnare cose.
e stiamo parlando di *luci* *colorate*, mica roba bianco calda qualunque!
if u are #sleepless u have time to checkout stuff.
Because i'm just looking for a #PCB design software like #eagle or #KiCAD
i found #LibrePCB and installed the AppImage to check it out.
Before i can say more, i will test it and try to make a little project, but the first impression is quite positive.
And what can I say, the Swiss developer even has a Mastodon account.

The open-source PCB design tool #LibrePCB is incrementally migrating its UI from #Qt to #Slint. After 6 months of work, they’re almost finished 🎉 They published a blog post detailing the progress with screenshots and videos: https://librepcb.org/blog/2025-09-12_preview_of_next_gen_ui/
I’ve made a lot of progress with the completely new user interface for LibrePCB 2.0 and am very excited to share some insights how it will look, and how it makes LibrePCB better in many ways. The Original Problem First, let’s quickly look back how everything began. Since the early days of LibrePCB around 2013, we are using Qt as the UI toolkit and the concept was to implement every editor as a separate window (schematic editor, board editor, library editor etc.
