The Interactive HTML BOM plugin for KiCad #OpenSource @kicad_pcb

The Interactive HTML BOM plugin for KiCad is a plugin generates convenient BOM listing with ability to visually correlate and easily search for components and their placements on the pcb.

This is really useful when hand soldering your prototype and you have to find 50 places where 0.1uF cap should be or which of the SOP8 footprints are for the same micro. Dynamically highlighting all components in the same group on the rendering of the pcb makes manually populating the board much easier.

The code is open source licensed (MIT) and is on GitHub along with demos like the one above.
