hetida-designer VS DearPyGui

Shameless Plug: We are working on a similar tool: https://github.com/hetida/hetida-designer

We have no GUI programming in the broader sense, in our case nodes are simply run one after another (DAG).

Our tool is a web application and workflows can be triggered / executed via API, which allows for automatisation. Workflows can be nested and are tagged with a version tag making production runs reproducible. It is very much taylored to (simple) Data Science use cases with the goal to make the Python data science stack accessible for Business Experts (or power users), maybe collaborating with Data Scientists.

It is actively developed, and our industrial customers happily use it, however it is still in early development state.

Hello everybody! We recently open sourced hetida designer, a workflow-based collaboration, development, and runtime environment for the Python data science stack.

Looks beautiful so congratulation for the launch.

Not sure if today this is enough though without any kind of AI chat assistant. Trae [0] is based on VSCode and Jetbrains Fleet are good looking as well. Visualization is definitely a big plus but there is also alternative like using rerun [1] and dearpygui [2] or some VSCode plugins (Python Image Preview, AREPL for Python)- might be hard to compete with those free alternatives on a subscription model IMHO but good luck!

For native GUI, DearPyGui[0] as modern as you can.

For browser web-based GUI, you can use nicegui[1]

If it's just to align text in the centre or to the right of a box, you could use a button and, by using theming, hide the fact that it's a button. https://github.com/hoffstadt/DearPyGui/issues/1111

Personally, i like PyQt or PySide they have basically everything you need to make a proper app or even simple apps, but there is another DearPyGui this is basically python version of imgui the c++ library, it provides some good customization options and can be used for simple or complex projects too, their discord is also very helpful.

There are some examples in the showcase as well. https://github.com/hoffstadt/DearPyGui/wiki/Dear-PyGui-Showcase

I'm a big fan of DearPyGUI

Use a button and set width of the button equal to the width of the window. Using theming to set the button text alignment to center. A comparable solution, for aligning to the right, can be found here. https://github.com/hoffstadt/DearPyGui/issues/1111

I was using PyQt5/PySide which will give you a nice native look but I eventually shifted over to DearPyGui for most of my smaller utilities. Its just faster for me. You will get more options and freedom with PyQt/PySide though and can use QT Designer to design your interfaces pretty easily.
