Project mention: Ask HN: What are good high information density UIs (screenshots, apps, sites) | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-05-08
I find the imgui UIs to be very high density (https://github.com/ocornut/imgui and the gallery issues) See for example the tracy profiler: https://github.com/wolfpld/tracy. It seems the game dev community has pretty powerful tools to understand and interrogate their work.

DearPyGui
Dear PyGui: A fast and powerful Graphical User Interface Toolkit for Python with minimal dependencies
Project mention: Show HN: Scripton – Python IDE with Built-In Realtime Visualizations | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-02-18Looks 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!

Project mention: Tracy: A real time, nanosecond resolution frame profiler | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-09-23
Does anybody have an opinion or comparison with respect to easy_profiler?
https://github.com/yse/easy_profiler
Especially interesting if based on real practical experience.
