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!

What are your plans for a data table UI? Shameless plug: I created the open source Buckaroo table for jupyter (embeddable in other contexts) with histograms, summary stats, search... I love talking tables if you want to get in touch.

Coincidentally, one of the first components I wrote for Scripton was a virtualized table for handling million+ row dataframes with Tufte-esque inline visualizations (in a much evolved form, it currently backs the REPL).

The data table got deferred to focus on the visualization bits for the initial release, but it's definitely planned!

Did you write your own table?

Million+ row handling is nice. Once I figured out window based display of tables, documentation and a bunch of other pieces of architecture became simpler. Previously I sent the whole dataset or a sample of it.

Is Scripton user extendable? Do you expect ipywidgets/anywidgets based projects to plug in?

Do you plan on selling copies (vs only subscription)?

The plan for now is just subscriptions.

However, I would like to eventually have something like Jetbrains' "perpetual fallback license" where you can keep using up to a particular version after, say, a year of subscription.

Thanks! GitHub Copilot support is actively under development.

What happens when I would stop my subscription? The scripton lib is open source and the lyra orion plot functions can output image files without refactoring? (Or do I have to reactivate my subscription?) (Congrats on your product launch btw :)
