Hola Christoph Berg!
linSmith is a Smith Charting program, mainly designed for educational use.
As such, there is an emphasis on capabilities that improve the 'showing
the effect of'-style of operation.
If you have any better suggestions, I'd appreciate it.
Seriously, does mainly designed for educational use mean it's
useless to be used for actual engineering practice? I doubt that, but
you pronounce that twice (even in the short description).
Well, I use it for one of the subjects in my university, I wouldn't know
how Smith Charts are used in normal life. I might as well remove the
mention in the short desc and leave it only for the long desc.

It's main features are: That's much improved in my opinion, it at least answers the question What is a Smith chart? - even if it doesn't particularly enlighten me. The only other suggestion I would have is to include a URL where more information) and some example charts could be found :) Hope that helps.

My first thought is someone with the last name Smith, but that doesn't make sense given the rest of the description. Would it be possible to add a short sentence to the first paragraph explaining exactly what a Smith chart is?

Hola Matt Brown! linSmith is a Smith Charting program, mainly designed for educational use. As such, there is an emphasis on capabilities that improve the 'showing the effect of'-style of operation. May I ask what a Smith is? My first thought is someone with the last name Smith, but that doesn't make sense given the rest of the description. It's actually a Smith Chart it's a special sort of diagram used in electromagnetism, to calculate the correct impedance to compensate a cable. As you see, it's quite specific, and it's difficult to make it more clear, I'll change Smith charting for making Smith charts that seems to sound a bit better, in the short desc, and make the long desc a bit more descriptive.
