I built a free browser-based chemical structure editor — looking for feedback before the main launch
Hi everyone,I got permission from the mods to post this.
I’m building MolSketch,a free browser-based chemical structure editor,and I’d really appreciate feedback from chemists,chemistry students,and researchers before the main launch.
The tool currently lets you:
- draw chemical structures directly in the browser
- use atoms,bonds,rings,charges,reaction arrows,curved arrows,and text
- customize colors,bond lengths,and display styles
- copy or download structures as PNG / SVG
- generate structures from SMILES,compound names,CAS numbers,OCR,and handwritten structure images
- work without installing desktop software
- use it on mobile devices
I’m especially looking for feedback on:
- whether the drawing UI feels understandable
- what features are missing for real chemistry workflows
- whether this could be useful for students,reports,slides,or quick structure sketches
This is still early,so I’m not claiming it replaces ChemDraw,Marvin,RDKit,or professional chemistry software. I’m mainly trying to understand what should be improved first.
Demo: MolSketch
Thanks in advance — critical feedback is very welcome.
