You might want to check PCS and see if you got some review requests that are already accepted but you didn't accept. :)

Found a reason for not sleeping right now: making a phone call to customer service operating on the Eastern Time.

Is this after frustration? Then I am very much relatable to your emotion.

This is a byproduct from my CHI 2025 work on quantum interfaces (paper: arxiv.org/abs/2502.00202, package: see-mike-out.github.io/patoka/).

Echo stands for the very first public library that I initially published in WA.

Cool features include:
- Cross highlighting (you need to provide qubit and operation match information)
- Click/Hover/Focus interaction supports with custom functions
- Some preset "tooltip" functions for interactivity
- Export as PNG and SVG

There are example/test files in the repo as well.

Echo-circuit uses information that one can retrieve via Qiskit, Cirq, or Q#.

For simple circuits, just provide the # of qubits, the # of classical bits, and the gate list.

There are some utilities that layout gates and qubits.

Please refer to the readme github.com/see-mike-out... for details.

To install,
- For Vanilla.js github.com/see-mike-out... (download both *.css and *.umd.js files)
- For NPM: `npm install echo-circuit`
(Readme has more details)

Demo:
see-mike-out.github.io/patoka-circu...

(Tested on Safari, Chrome, and Firefox via both modes)

There has been a (small but strong) demand for interactive quantum circuit vis for web env like Jupyter Notebook. I originally built this using Svelte, but not everyone uses Svelte (though I believe they should). In response, I release this package `echo-circuit` www.npmjs.com/package/echo...

Three quantum circuit visualizations, one logical and two transpiled, using Echo-circuit with features for downloading PNG and SVG files.

Two gates are cross-highlighted with background color, outline, and a tooltip.

So a building next to yours share the same routing number, but completely different building numbers. AY92 next to ZZ31. The town next to yours also has completely different routing number. For example, R32 near N37.

If you know an Eircode, then you can locate the exact point of it.

What is the most *wicked* ID system to you?

Mine: Irish Zip Code system (Eircode)
Why? An Eircode consists of 7 alphanumeric digits with the first 3 digits for routing and the last 4 digits for unique building number. Both routing and building numbers are randomized.

it is indeed! it made my job so easier! initially I thought I'd need to install something but nothing needed! I didn't even have to issue a new github PAT.
