thonny VS realworld

Install Thonny and run it. Then go to Tools -> Options, to configure the ESP32C3 device in Thonny to match the settings shown in the screenshot below.

The recommended way to programm MicroPython on the Raspberry Pico is to use the Thonny IDE. Accessing the Badger with reveals the following file structure:

Personally, I like to debug and step through code to see where I went wrong so I'm going to paste the code into my Thonny IDE. I like Thonny for small code challenges like this because it doesn't require setting up a whole project just to run and step through code.

Thonny is designed speciffically for that purpose https://thonny.org .

For beginners the main advantage is the easier install and maintainance, and the less intimidating/cluttered environment.

IMHO it makes some decent tradeoffs, and it is an onramp for students evolving to VSCode or PyCharm when they feel ready.

I use the serial console with a tool like Thonny to debug KMK/CircuitPython code on my device. running something like import main; main.keyboard.go() usually prints a useful error message.

If you think you need an IDE then Thonny is a good one for beginners. It does more than a simple text editor, some of which you won't use initially, but it is more to learn on top of learning python.

Usa o thonny. É muito bom e leve.

VSCode is good but I wouldn't describe it as "barebones". I recommend Thonny. It's a Python IDE specifically for beginners.

All you really need to learn python is just an installed python interpreter, the command line and a text editor like Notepad, but that's a bit too minimal perhaps. There are things called IDEs (Integrated Development Environment) that bundle up tools such as an editor, build tools and a debugger into one package. I think that a full-blown IDE is overload for a beginner with too much to learn that isn't actually python. If you want to use an IDE try something like Thonny which is aimed at beginners. When you get some experience try other IDEs and Jupyter.

Maybe a goofy question, and definitely unrelated to the post topic, but: I’m using Thonny to learn Python: can I use NiceGUI with Thonny?

In light of all this, it became exceedingly clear that someone else needed to step in and help. Why not me? Well, it can be me. And, after 3 months of development, I am happy to announce (again) dwayne/elm-conduit (demo), an open-source Elm SPA for RealWorld's Medium.com clone.

It's just for web app (a Todo app). Your GIS AND CLI ideas are interesting, I haven't seen anything similar to realworld for those.

So what would be a better benchmark? Perhaps a "standard" "real world" app, like https://github.com/gothinkster/realworld

Or something simpler?

RealWorld example app is a full-stack application called "Conduit" that consists of a backend that serves JSON API and a frontend UI. There are numerous implementations for different languages and frameworks, but in this tutorial you will be using the Spring backend and the React frontend.

Github has millions of projects, some large fraction with more than 100 stars, so it doesn't seem like you are searching very hard. But more importantly, why "100 stars"? Stars are meaningless and arbitrary. Many developers use stars like bookmarks. I just did a quick search and noticed a project like realworld (just a demo for learning, 65 contributors) has have more stars than Bitcoin (900+ developers, perhaps you have heard of it?)

I feel you, context API sometimes overcomplicates everything. Let me introduce to you RealWorld. It is a great project that uses composition to make its structure scalable. It is actually a codebase that implements various fragments of a larger scale project such as Medium or Twitter. Check it out here: https://github.com/gothinkster/realworld. I hope this helps!
