Nutrient – The #1 PDF SDK Library, trusted by 10K+ developers
Other PDF SDKs promise a lot - then break. Laggy scrolling, poor mobile UX, tons of bugs, and lack of support cost you endless frustrations. Nutrient’s SDK handles billion-page workloads - so you don’t have to debug PDFs. Used by ~1 billion end users in more than 150 different countries.

Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Could you suggest a python library I can use to plot directed graphs?
PyFlow perhaps?

Looking for specific GUI framework
Haven't found any projects (PyFlow seems nice but seems to not be actively maintained, and since it's a long term project picking that up feels too risky). Anyone has some cool ideas?

A tool similar to simulink for python?
If he’s more just after visual programming rather than modelling dynamical systems, I believe PyFlow is the main option nowadays (although it hasn’t been updated in a while now).

Anyone know if python can be used to make a MATLAB simulink clone (dragging and dropping elements)? If not, do you have recommendations of other languages that can do this best to make a desktop app?
Simupy is a code-based dynamic system simulation program that a grad student came up with several years ago. I was surprised to see work on it in the past year, given it’s origin. It has no graphical component that I know of (haven’t read the latest docs)

Petition: End MATLAB in UIUC courses
I am not a controls person, but it after a bit of searching appears that the open source Xcos by SciLab appears to be relatively capable, and Python has simupy, which is at least competent enough to get use by NASA (though I think it lacks GUI support(?)).
- Matlab with the unbeatable offer 💞

A tool similar to simulink for python?
Closest thing is SimuPy. I haven’t got around to trying it out, but there’s a decent video about it here by the guy who made it. That video’s a few years old though, so there’s likely more functionality now :-)
What are some alternatives?
When comparing PyFlow and simupy you can also consider the following projects:
Ryven - Flow-based visual scripting for Python
mesa - Mesa is an open-source Python library for agent-based modeling, ideal for simulating complex systems and exploring emergent behaviors.
PDM - A modern Python package and dependency manager supporting the latest PEP standards
fdtd - A 3D electromagnetic FDTD simulator written in Python with optional GPU support
imgui-node-editor - Node Editor built using Dear ImGui
bdsim_realtime - Real-time execution and remote monitoring and tuning of BDSim Block-Diagrams for modeling and control of Dynamical Systems
