That wouldn't stop the developer from abandoning the project though. I don't like using closed source tools when I can avoid it. Visual studio is a big exception because Microsoft will never abandon it in a million years, it's literally their flagship IDE. The same argument can be made for the jet brains IDEs. But a closed source tool made by a solo developer just seems too risky for me, even if the OP was giving it…

Makes sense. Still, I've been burned a bit when Microsoft surprisingly abandoned a developer tool I purchased. Flagship or not, a lot can change in a few years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Discontinued_Microsof...

Was this tool superseded by Visual Studio ?

From what I can tell they went from having a dozen small dev tools into consolidating everything in VS Studio.

This has also been somewhat mitigated by VS Code, not everyone needs a giant 30GB ide to edit text. I think Microsoft is one of the better companies when it comes to developers. You don't even need Windows to compile Windows software... Unlike Apple that locks everything behind over priced hardware.

OP, you're selling your tool to the wrong people. HN is not the crowd. This is for core-engineers who want to get value out of coding. Find people who pay the $1000/yr to use 1 tool in Matlab, and start pulling them away.

Please don't try and box the user base of a web community. It's exclusive rather than inclusive. You have no idea who is reading these pages.

It is less so OP's tool, and more so the way they presented it.

I won't discourage them away from SWEs. Instead, I want to encourage them to sell to core engineers. I was a MechE for the longest time too. And this is a great Matlab alternative. In fact, I was exactly that MechE who was using HN to feel like a part of the tech community.

The top post is phrased as a sell. But, if I'd read it during my MechE days then it would've gone right over my head.

For magnet levitation project I am dumping data to a csv on a rpi and then reading it over ssh onto matplotlib on my desktop. It works but it choppy. Probably because of the ssh. Could I drop rerun into this to improve my monitoring? https://youtube.com/shorts/Y1LGSMFisDc

Yes! Rerun can definitely make your life a lot easier! Rerun natively supports the server and the viewer being on different devices ( https://rerun.io/docs/reference/sdk/operating-modes ). In your case, in the script you are dumping data into csv, I'd add the relevant lines to log data to rerun. On the desktop side, you can spawn a viewer that can listen to the stream and visualize it.

Got it working this afternoon this is great! thanks
