I developed the most user-friendly Python profiling tool available
Hello, I have several years of experience as a Python developer, and during that time, I've worked on intricate applications dealing with large volumes of data. One frequent challenge I faced was benchmarking the application and identifying performance bottlenecks. While there are some excellent Python profiling tools available, they can be quite daunting for beginners. The utility I have developed simplifies this process, making it as straightforward as possible to transition from slow code to a detailed flame chart. I would greatly appreciate your feedback!
I developed the most user-friendly Python profiling tool available launched on October 29, 2023 with 6 votes, #1,606 of 4,393 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.

Talanoa▲341Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
