  • Show HN: Scripton – Python IDE with Built-In Realtime Visualizations
    6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 18 Feb 2025
    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]

  • Need help with text alignment
    2 projects | /r/DearPyGui | 29 May 2023
    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
  • Which GUI module is better in Python? tkinter or PyQt or kivy?
    7 projects | /r/Python | 26 Mar 2023
    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.

  • Centering text in window/
    1 project | /r/DearPyGui | 5 Mar 2023
    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
  • What tools are available to begin building a GUI for python?
    2 projects | /r/learnpython | 4 Mar 2023
    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.
