Couple things. 1. Perpetual fallback licenses on SaaS products are (unfortunately) not terribly common - so if it's not explicitly stated then you can bet your bottom dollar that it's highly unlikely. 2.

I also think perpetual fallback licenses are great and will def use this for hackerman.ai text editor (when released later this year).

I also wish devs would start offer one time payments again (especially for downloadable software).

This looks really nice! I currently use LiveCode (which isn't Python-based) for my daily "I have a bunch of data I'm looking to filter/transform/clean up" tasks. I'm always on the lookout for a similar tool, which for me means:

   1. Text inputs (table/spreadsheet inputs?)
   2. Text outputs
   3. Buttons
   4. Menus
   5. Sliders
   6. Checkboxes/radio buttons
And bonus points for:

   7. bundle it up and give it to someone else to run
I think out of that list you have 2, 3, and 5? https://docs.scripton.dev/api/interact/user-interfaces/widge...

Any chance you'll push further into the build-a-UI-to-muck-with-data realm?

This looks very nice!

How long have you been working on this?

I will be releasing hackerman.ai text editor later this year (or ASAP), also somewhat niche product with support for creating/editing lexers (eg for your own languages), able to customize almost everything, set key bindings to use self-defined functions (scripting), and ofc integrated AI features, which can also be customized and added as commands etc.

Built on top of Qt framework.

Thanks!

That's correct: 2, 3, and 5 are currently available. This initial set was intended as a minimal (albeit limited) set that demonstrates the UI capabilities. More widgets/controls (including the ones you've mentioned) are definitely coming.

7 is something I've considered (along the lines of a redistributable "Scripton runtime" that packages up the scripts and bundles a portable Python distribution). However, that's currently much further down on the todo list.

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 by visualizing many layer outputs, every augmentation, etc. For a long time, I had my own observability suite - a messy library of python scripts that I use for visualizing data. I…

i found with aider if you do README.md with a halfway decent "spec" it will try to comply in architect or coder mode. I've been messing with it idly, and i will try this tack - give it the spec for the library or whatever.

someday, and i threaten this all the time, i am going to launch a website where i put all of these little "tricks" that make sense post hoc :-)
