I haven't used Jupter since I switched to web dev, but it's greate to see Jupyter's debugging experience gets better.

BTW, it looks pretty much like Spyder. AFAIR Spyder is a funded project by Jupyter. What happened between two projects?

Spyder was funded by Anaconda for a while, and is now funded by NumFocus and Quansight https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/wiki/Current-Funding-an...

I don't see how this debugger is visual, but anyway it's cool to see that jupyter finally has a debugger. This is what I would call a visual debugging experience: https://github.com/hediet/vscode-debug-visualizer/blob/maste... (Disclaimer: I'm the author of that extension)

This is very cool and seems useful. I've been meaning to do something like this for years.

Thanks!

Anyone here interested in helping me improving the Python experience of this VS Code extension?

I would be very happy if you could reach out on Twitter (@hediet_dev) ;)

The debugging experience in notebooks before this was through a fully text based PDB input field that would allow you to control code flow with 'c' or other characters.

This new extension gives a graphical user interface that's similar to how debugging works in i.e. VS Code or PyCharm.

I guess that's visual about it.

as someone who saw the demo on the github page, and wanted to use it for Python, this comment throws up some red flags.

What needs to be improved for Python use?
