  1. revy

    Proof-of-concept time-travel debugger for the Bevy game engine, built using Rerun.

    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!

    Dear PyGui: A fast and powerful Graphical User Interface Toolkit for Python with minimal dependencies

  5. rerun

    Visualize streams of multimodal data. Free, fast, easy to use, and simple to integrate. Built in Rust.

    I am a robotics engineer/scientist and I do shit ton of visualization of all kind of high-fidelity/high-rate data, often in a streaming setting - time series at a few thousand Hz, RGB/depth images from multiple cameras, debugging my models, etc.

    For a long time, I had my own observability suite - a messy library of python scripts that I use for visualizing data. I replaced all of them with rerun (https://rerun.io/) and if you are someone who think Scipton is exciting, you should def try rerun too!

    I use cursor/vscode for my development and rerun pops up in it's own window. It's a simple pip installable library, and just works. It's open source, and the founders run a very active forum too.

  6. dotfiles

    is it worth the time? (by eh8)

    Depends on your ROI. If the tool saves you much more, $20/mo could be very reasonable. This IDE is rather narrowly focused on easily doing numerical code and visualizations. If you were doing it every day and cringe at the thought of using your current setup every day, the product would be for you.

    https://xkcd.com/1205/ provides an idea of the cost of the time spent by improving a tool, or, equivalently, saved by paying for it. If you're paid even $50 an hour, a $20 / mo tool that saves you 30 minutes a month, cumulative, is already worth paying for. And this thing can save hours and hours a month for a particular kind of work.

  7. data-formulator

    🪄 Create rich visualizations with AI

    I am impressed by the AI integration and simplicity of Data Formulator from Microsoft Research which runs one click in a Codespace so can't be much easier to get started throwing things together.
