Hello. The idea is to submit the schematics plus used symbols in a .zip container, then export them to SVG (and maybe .PNG alternative if the web browser doesn't support it?) and get it embedded in the site (or maybe an interactive JavaScript viewer?). The perfect solution would be a WordPress plugin, because it's easy to setup and maybe deployed in a free WordPress.com site.
Something a bit similar would be CircuitBee.com and EasyEDA.com but with open source and just the reader part. But I understand this isn't an easy task, it would require understand all the file formats, interpret them correctly and code it in a different language. Python is okay, but it's easier to find web hosting for php and most popular CMS are coded on it. In the same way, a KiCad reader for Android and iPhone would be interesting to show or see schematics on the go. This could be used by students to show their work to teachers. Maybe KiCad code could be reused in a project like this. There's more important priorities for KiCad at this moment, I understand it. Maybe somebody did it or some developer is working at it. LibreOffice has a cloud and Android version in the works, but they have a lot more resources and tons of full time paid developers involved. A viewer would be enough. Anyway, I believe this kind of auxiliary software would help to make KiCad a lot more popular in the hobbyist/maker and student sectors. I would like to know if I'm right or wrong. Kind regards.
