An experimental, proof-of-concept code editor for writing Python algorithms, inspired by Bret Victor's ideas on learnable programming. It acts as a time-travelling (omniscient) debugger that visually shows execution steps and variable state as code changes.

Use cases

  • write and visualize algorithms for coding competitions
  • see execution steps and variable state while editing code
  • time-travel debug Python algorithm code
  • learn algorithms through live visual feedback
  • explore omniscient debugging concepts

When to avoid

  • you need a production-ready, actively maintained editor
  • you want traditional breakpoint-based debugging
  • you need support for languages other than Python
  • you require long-term support or bug fixes
