Thanks! I'm curious why you want to install it. All the Python runs in your browser and never leaves it. Do you want to use it offline? Or is it a matter of trust? (I understand!)

Sorry! I meant "spacial interface" referring to how panes are laid out on a 2D canvas.

good ol' React and TypeScript! The Python magic here is Pyodide.

I love that phrase "drag in X". It's closer to how we interact with objects in the real world. Coding should feel more like that!

Thanks! Visual programming tools are a big inspiration.

For art browser, I assume you're referring to the JavaScript example https://natto.dev/example/f33b7f5924634fb687a90d85ed03f289

Hi all! I've been working on natto.dev, a spatial environment for JavaScript. With all the buzz around PyScript, I found Pyodide and got it working inside natto! It's a beautiful piece of software.

This is a tech demo of what a Python spatial notebook could look like. It's a stripped down version of natto (eg interactive outputs, multiplayer) so please check that out if this interests you!

Thanks! Check out https://natto.dev and go through the tutorial and examples. I'm happy to answer questions or give you a tour as well. Reach out @_paulshen on twitter!

paulshen | 4 years ago | on: Dendron: A personal knowledge management solution built on VS Code

I'm not a big "note-taker" but Dendron has stuck with me mainly because of vscode. I spend so much time in vscode already and the familiar UI is a big plus. I also use the vscode vim extension which works just as well with Dendron.

paulshen | 4 years ago | on: Egui: An easy-to-use immediate mode GUI

Here's the main file of the tictactoe implementation.

https://gist.github.com/paulshen/b04db68c754f73e693cd29a481c...

`update` is similar to React's render function except here it's being called on every interaction (eg mousemove tick) and redrawing the entire screen from scratch! The code runs so fast that this is fine from a perf standpoint. Note that egui has a reactive or continuous mode. You can rerender everything from scratch 60fps (continuous mode) and it'd be fine in most cases.

paulshen | 4 years ago | on: Egui: An easy-to-use immediate mode GUI

I investigated egui early this year. It's a very good library! For me, getting used to immediate mode UI was a change from being used to DOM / React-style UI. imgui works well for a lot but it struggles with complex layouts, eg flexbox. This is acknowledged in egui's README

Couple things I built with egui: https://artifacts.bypaulshen.com/rust-gui/code-render/ https://artifacts.bypaulshen.com/rust-gui/tictactoe/

got it! should be fixed

paulshen | 5 years ago | on: Natto.dev – A Canvas for JavaScript

thanks! It's something I built myself. A React component that branches on value type and recurses on collections (arrays and objects).

For the spotify example, you'll have to fill out your own Spotify API tokens (see the two input panes - "api client *")

paulshen | 5 years ago | on: Natto.dev – A Canvas for JavaScript

Thanks for the kind words :)

paulshen | 5 years ago | on: Natto.dev – A Canvas for JavaScript

Thanks! I'm having trouble reproing this. What field were you editing?

paulshen | 5 years ago | on: Natto.dev – A Canvas for JavaScript

I've wondered what a factorio coding interface would look like.. would love to see it.

Agree about undo/redo! on the todo list.

paulshen | 5 years ago | on: Natto.dev – A Canvas for JavaScript

Thanks! I'm using plain React. I have a React onMouseDown React listener that attaches mousemove/mouseup listeners on the window. I round the numbers to the grid.

I've seen https://reactflow.dev/ but haven't used it myself. The core drag interaction is not much code but feel free to reach out on twitter. happy to share more!

paulshen | 5 years ago | on: Natto.dev – A Canvas for JavaScript

Thanks for feedback!

Mousewheel should pan! You can hold down spacebar to pan anywhere (also dragging). Clicking the 100% in the toolbar lets you zoom. Some more shortcuts here https://twitter.com/_paulshen/status/1381744260945379331

Which example isn't working for you? and I plan to add more examples (maybe community?) and interactive tutorial in the future!
