Gerber Viewer for GitHub
A browser extension that renders Gerber and PCB fabrication files right inside GitHub, including pull-request diffs, so hardware reviews stop requiring a separate desktop app.
If you spend any time on hardware repositories on GitHub, you’ve probably done this dance more times than you’d like. Find a project that looks interesting. Open the board files. Then go hunting for a desktop viewer just to see what the thing actually looks like.
Gerber Viewer for GitHub renders those fabrication files inline, right where the code already lives. It also diffs PCB changes inside pull requests, so a reviewer can see exactly what moved between revisions instead of squinting at raw coordinates.
It’s built and tested in the open, with continuous integration and a full test suite behind every release.
