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
