What I find most impressive is the design was made using EasyEDA, JLC's web PCB design tool, and only on a four layer board. That BGA with DDR4 on 4 layers is something!

Why people actually use those clunky web-based tools is beyond me. It's like using a normal design tool but worse in every conceivable way.

Is it though? EasyEDA is more than sufficient for most uses that don’t require large amounts of layers or components. It’s easy to pickup by a novice, has basic ERC, well integrated into LCSC ecosystem.

It doesn’t have the versatility of KiCAD but is lighter and easier for light use or occasional design of moderate complexity.
