Memory Graph – Interactive Python execution and memory visualizer
Hello everybody, I built Memory Graph to help students (and myself) build a correct mental model of Python references, mutability, and copying, and to make debugging data structures less “print-driven”. It’s inspired by Python Tutor, but focuses on clearer graphs and on running locally in many different environments and debuggers. The Memory Graph Web Debugger quickly turns your web browser into a Python debugger where the whole program state is visualized in each step, clearly showing aliasing and the structure of the data, giving insight that is hard to get with just printing. Some…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hello everybody, I built Memory Graph to help students (and myself) build a correct mental model of Python references, mutability, and copying, and to make debugging data structures less “print-driven”. It’s inspired by Python Tutor, but focuses on clearer graphs and on running locally in many different environments and debuggers. The Memory Graph Web Debugger quickly turns your web browser into a Python debugger where the whole program state is visualized in each step, clearly showing aliasing and the structure of the data, giving insight that is hard to get with just printing. Some interesting examples: - Recursion, decimal to binary conversion: https://memory-graph.com/#codeurl=https://raw.githubusercont... - Binary Tree data structure: https://memory-graph.com/#codeurl=https://raw.githubusercont... - Cocktail Shaker Sort: https://memory-graph.com/#codeurl=https://raw.githubusercont... Here you can find some difficult Python Data Model exercises for use in education where Memory Graph helps explain the correct answer: https://github.com/bterwijn/memory_graph_videos/blob/main/exercises/exercises.md

Hi HN! During the last year, I've been building python.cards: a site to learn Python using spaced repetition. My goal is to make the most of spaced repetition by making it extremely simple to use and by providing high quality flash cards. The site has been live for a month, with a few daily users who had joined the waitlist. The feedback has been quite positive, with most of the users using the site every day. Currently, we have a free deck (A Tour of the Stdlib) and a paid one (Pathlib in depth, for $9.99). I have other decks in the works, covering topics such as f-strings, collections,…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
