+\note{
+  For those who do not know LibrePCB yet, it's an open-source software to
+  draw schematics and design PCBs.\\
+
+  It is cross platform and runs on most computers - Windows, Linux, macOS
+  and other operating systems, and actually even on ARM CPUs.\\
+
+  The user interface aims to be intuitive and easy to use, so even without
+  any knowledge about LibrePCB you can create a PCB very quickly. But at the
+  same time it is also intended for professional users.\\
+
+  It has a powerful library concept which allows to save a lot of time
+  due to high reusability.\\
+
+  The file format is human readable and optimized for version control
+  systems.\\
+
+  And generally speaking, we focus more on usability and stability of the tool
+  rather than bleeding edge features.

+  However, keep in mind that implementing all these features requires a huge
+  amount of time, and since I have a fulltime job, the time I can spend is
+  quite limited. So you should not expect these features to be implemented
+  very soon.\\
+
+  So, if you like LibrePCB or this tool is useful for you, I'd greatly
+  appreciate a donation. The more donations are made, the more time I can
+  spend on LibrePCB and the more powerful it will be.\\
+
+  And remember, the easiest way to support LibrePCB is to use the integrated
+  PCB ordering feature. Which is very funny since this donation even doesn't
+  cost you any money!
+
+  Thank you very much.

+  The library management and editor are working very well and are fully

+
+  The schematic editor is also working very well, but there is no support

+
+  The board editor is probably the weakest part at the moment. It is totally
+  usable for creating PCBs which are not very complex, but there is no support

+
+  Export for Gerber, pick\&place, BOM and PDFs is available, so all important

+  Generating Gerber and Excellon files is still a challenge, especially for
+  beginners. It's not easy to understand how to generate correct production
+  data files, especially since every PCB manufacturer has slightly different
+  requirements on the production data format. For example regarding file
+  naming, file extension, Gerber format version, merged or split drill files,
+  there are a lot of things you can do the wrong way.\\
+
+  Therefore we integrated a much simpler way to order the PCB
+  directly from within the application. A shopping cart symbol in the
+  application opens a dialog which quickly explains how the feature works.
