I've been trying to make accessible and beautiful GPIO pinouts since I started one for the Raspberry Pi in 2013 [1]. I've since given the Raspberry Pi Pico [2] and Pico 2 [3] microcontrollers the same treatment when they launched.

Recently I've updated these with a new "Upside-down" view to complement the rear view, giving a pinout in the right orientation to match your project.

The Pico sites are all hand-coded single HTML pages with supporting CSS and minimal JS. They are set up to optionally install as a "Desktop" web app. They also degrade into a somewhat usable table in lieu of CSS and use vector graphics (for the board itself) to be viewable and printable at any size.

Finally, hidden behind "Advanced" is a pinout of the test pads and special function pins!

I wish many manufactures would begin adding Pin mux inside MCU, like espressif. So most of the time you don't care which pin has which function, and make designing pcb for it much less painful.

Definitely - the ESP32S3 is an absolute joy to work with and layout.
