How your feedback helped us prioritize performance improvements

At AllSpice, we believe the best products come from close collaboration with the people who use them. Our approach is rooted in customer-driven design, meaning your feedback plays a critical role in shaping the features and improvements we deliver. One of the latest enhancements—boosting performance for diff file load times in design reviews—is a direct result of our ongoing conversation with you, our users.

Shaping our decisions

When we rolled out earlier versions of our platform, we received valuable feedback about the performance of loading design reviews, especially for larger PCBs. Many of you mentioned that while the visual PCB diff feature was useful, the time it took to initially load these reviews was slowing down your workflow.

Rather than making assumptions about how to fix this, we turned to you. Through surveys, support requests, and direct customer conversations, you helped us understand exactly where the delays were happening. And, what improvements would make the biggest difference. Based on your insights, we prioritized speeding up the initial load time of diff files in design reviews (PRs), without needing to render all visual PCB diffs right away.

Building with a customer-driven approach

Our process isn’t just about fixing problems—it’s about creating a platform that feels intuitive and enjoyable. The enhancements in this update are part of a broader performance initiative based on what we hear from our engineering users. We’re committed to making AllSpice faster and easier to use with each release.

Collaborating with our customers has shown us time and again that the most effective solutions come from working directly with you. Whether it’s finding new ways to streamline your workflow or introducing new features, your input drives us forward.

Why we love working with customers

Our partnership with you doesn’t end with just one update. We love hearing from you because your feedback helps us constantly improve AllSpice. Whether it’s making design reviews faster or ensuring the interface meets your needs, your insights keep us focused on what really matters—building tools that make your life easier.

This constant back-and-forth with you is how we ensure that we’re always heading in the right direction. We’re committed to making design reviews more efficient, and this performance improvement is just one of many steps along the way.

What’s next?

We’re excited to keep improving AllSpice, and your feedback will always be a key part of that journey. If there’s anything else you’d like to see or ways we can make your experience even better, don’t hesitate to contact us. Together, we can continue building the best possible tools for the hardware development community.

Thank you for being part of this collaborative process—we look forward to building the next iteration of hardware design!
