Scripton – Python IDE with built-in realtime visualizations

In plain words

Scripton is a Python IDE designed for interactive exploratory programming with built-in realtime visualizations. It integrates a REPL for rapid prototyping and gives direct access to JavaScript plotting libraries like Observable Plot and Plotly. Unlike notebook-based environments, Scripton uses a script-centric approach, aiming to provide researchers and data scientists with a focused alternative for fast iteration and visualization without notebook constraints.

From the sources

Scripton is a powerful yet easy to use Python IDE. It includes rich visualization and AI features.

Scripton is a new kind of Python development environment that brings features like built-in visualizations, UIs, and interactive execution to regular .py scripts. Run your scripts and view your plots and visualizations right within the IDE. Works with built-in interactive plotting toolkits (based on Observable Plot and Plotly ) as well as existing popular libraries like Matplotlib, Seaborn, and PIL. Scripton includes a special Python REPL that's designed to be a natural extension of your coding environment. Scripton includes a custom Python debugger designed to be unobtrusive yet powerful, helping you investigate issues faster and analyze code more effectively. Scripton's built-in UI…from scripton.dev

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hey HN, Scripton (https://scripton.dev) is a Python IDE built for fast, interactive visualizations and exploratory programming — without the constraints of notebooks. Why another Python IDE? Scripton hopes to fill a gap in the Python development ecosystem by being an IDE that: 1. Focuses on easy, fast, and…

  A Visual IDE for React2022 · dev.aspect.app · ▲479

  I made this because building UIs in a lexical medium like code is super annoying. I have to pre-render what I’m making in my head, and then jump between the browser and IDE to test. I was inspired by the developer console in chrome and safari since I end up editing css there because it’s ironically more convenient. Hope it’s useful!

  A Spatial Environment for Python2022 · python.natto.dev · ▲169

  Hi all! A little background: I've been working on natto.dev, a spatial environment for JavaScript. I'm really excited about new interfaces for code (leveraging metaphors we're good at, spatial reasoning, making state visible, design tools, etc). With all the buzz around PyScript, I discovered Pyodide and got it working inside natto. This Python version is a stripped down version of https://natto.dev (eg interactive outputs, multiplayer) so please check that out if this interests you. I'm excited to share this spatial environment for Python. Imagine Jupyter cells arranged on a 2D…

  Probly – Spreadsheets, Python, and AI in the browser2025 · github.com · ▲171

  Probly was built to reduce context-switching between spreadsheet applications, Python notebooks, and AI tools. It’s a simple spreadsheet that lets you talk to your data. Need pandas analysis? Just ask in plain English, and the code runs right in your browser. Want a chart? Just ask. While there are tools available in this space like TheBricks, Probly is a minimalist, open-source solution built with React, TypeScript, Next.js, Handsontable, Hyperformula, Apache Echarts, OpenAI, and Pyodide. It's still a work in progress, but it's already useful for my daily tasks.

  Talanoa▲343

  Hi 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. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  I got laid off from Meta and created a minor hit on Steam▲1,581

  I was at FB/Meta from late 2013 to early 2023, mostly working in the compiler/runtime spaces. I got hit in the spring 2023 layoff wave. I immediately started making games in my newfound free time (a lifelong interest, and I even worked in AA(A?) back ca. ~2000), and in October 2023 I stumbled upon the idea of a roguelike pachinko/plinko game inspired by Luck Be A Landlord. Things snowballed quickly, I started talking to publishers, then worked like crazy through all of 2024, almost the hardest I've ever worked in my career, and launched the game in December 2024. It's sold…

  i wanted to change the habit of reaching for my phone in the morning and doomscrolling away an hour so i built an app to help me. now i have to literally touch grass before accessing my most distracting apps the app is built in swiftui, uses the screen time apis provided by apple and google vision to recognise grass or not i'd love to get your thoughts on the concept.
