it's great work, but I think Vcc is missing

Hi vorba,

CircuitLab has multiple types of voltage sources, both DC and AC. If you wish to use the term Vcc in your circuits, my suggestion is to set up a voltage source on the side of your circuit and name the positive terminal Vcc using a named node. Then you can call other nodes in your circuit Vcc, using named nodes as well. Take a look at this circuit for an example.

Hi hevans,

That's a clever way of doing it! I didn't know you could link nodes together by calling them the same thing.

I think it might be helpful, though, to include some sort of "syntactical sugar" for common labels like Vcc, considering how common some of those conventions are. I know it's not strictly necessary given that you can use named nodes to achieve the same effect, but it would make circuits that use it a little easier to immediately understand, a little more familiar and welcoming.

Just my two cents. :-)

I love CircuitLab by the way! I'm pretty impressed so far, and I've only just scratched the surface of what's possible with it. You guys are awesome!
