Okay, Im glad it’s just the silkscreen… phew! I got a book “fundamentals of electronic circuits” It just arrived the other day and I should start reading 
I really appreciate this. I will do these things and keep testing!!
You all rock, thank you so so much. Im so grateful.
I have severe doubts!
The bottom layer is connected to V+ (see rightmost through hole in the bottom labeled “V+”. At the same time, you have a track going from there to R6 Pin 2 labeled GND. And C1 pin 2 labeled GND.
Why are there traces (connecting GND) if there is alreay a connection? The V+ and GND makes no sense to me.
v+ and GND were mislabelled
Ah, you are right.
Who cares about comments in software that contradict the code.

I followed your recommendations and it worked much, much better. I think? All my grounds are connected on the ground plane, and all my signal tracks are on the top?
You still have a couple of signal tracks on B.Cu in blue. Although it will make very little difference, you could take it as a puzzle and a challenge to move them to F.Cu by adjusting the positions of the parts. I’m too sleepy now to tackle a puzzle.
Edit: They are ground tracks so should be absorbed into the ground plane. Yawn, zzz…

Will be all gone if he makes to top layer a GND-zone and removes the GND-tracks.
Finally a single-sided PCB!

I don’t think I should lol. I don’t know much but I think it would be noisy, right?
If you care about noise, you should route GND to the cap first, then R3.
And the fixed value R4 contradicts your schematics. And the variable resistor has no name. But according to schematics it is R4.
DRC should fail. Keep your schematic and your PCB in sync. Or post your updated schematic. Things no longer match.
Nothing fails though? I don’t use a variable resistor The schematic uses a potentiometer.
I also don’t need to route traces for the gnd. I just need to add the ground plane.
So the potentiometer has a fixed value? Or is it variable?
Where is the potentiometer in the schematics and where is R4?
Potentiometer is labelled as R4 in the schematic. It is a 100k reverse log pot. I labelled it boost on my pcb.
Hey, Im sorry. Don’t need to get mad. It was a footprint import error. That silkscreen was mislabeled. That is R5 100k Ohm.
