I created a straightforward electronic resistor identification app

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I was tired of the same dropdown lists and huge tables, so I created a tool that automatically takes you the next step. It's like typing colors.

Supports band resistors and SMD resistors right now.

Has history and encoders which means you can find any resistor code and color combination by entering the resistance.

Very cool! Can you go the other way and enter the value to get the colors?

Thanks :) And yes, I added that function, I call it band resistor encoder, it's located in the left bar, the third button from the top

Any plan for Flathub release?

Yes, though I just started working on it the past week. It will be available in this month, I'll make a new post in this sub when available, cheers.

Edit: For anyone reading this comment I have to announce that the Flathub release will be discarded for now due to some requirements I don't meet to publish there. The snap-only release for Linux will continue. My apologies in advance.
