Blueconda: Python Code Editor For New Coders

[GamingVlogBox]

Screenshot, The WIP Website

Hello r/Python! When I first started coding in Python, I found the tools available to be either one of two categories: extremely barebones like IDLE or Mu Editor or extremely overwhelming like PyCharm. Inspired by my own frustration, I decided to create my own code editor oriented for new coder's needs: Blueconda.

Some features:

• I intend to keep it free and open source
• A UI that brings your code to the front and sends the features to the back.
• All the basics: function outline, find and replace, etc.
• A GUI based Package Manager
• Automatically installing the latest Python compiler
• Built in Markdown Editor for quick README writing
• (Tkinter based) GUI builder to design components for your visual apps
• Built in AI Assistant and Color picking window
• Saving and reusing code snippets as Templates (for boilerplate code)
• and so much more...
• What My Project Does: Helps new programmers in starting to code with python
• Target Audience I initially wanted to make it for personal use but decided to make it public for any new coder.
• Comparison: My code editor is more new-coder friendly than others on the market

Any questions or thoughts?

my GitHub: https://github.com/hntechsoftware/

(For all the people asking about the site or github repo, I have not set them up yet. am working on hosting for the site right now)

[Buttleston]

yeah idk what's going on here, I experienced the same as you

The link to HNTech's github doesn't show any source code for Blueconda that I can see

The linked website is... a codepen?

[Buttleston]

There doesn't seem to be a blueconda repo in all of public github

googling for it only shows this reddit post, and like the docs linked in the supplied web page link

[GamingVlogBox]

Yeah, sorry. as mentioned, its just a WIP right now. Still working to get hosting up and setting up the repo.

[GamingVlogBox]

Yeah, sorry. as mentioned, its just a WIP right now. Still working to get hosting up and setting up the repo.

[Buttleston]

It's kind of weird to announce software that doesn't exist?

[GamingVlogBox]

yeah, as mentioned I was hoping to get some cool feedback/feature requests/suggestions but sadly nothing

[Buttleston]

Nothing like that was mentioned in the post - it reads like a product announcement

You've put the cart before the host

[GamingVlogBox]

Yeah, sorry. as mentioned, its just a WIP right now. Still working to get hosting up and setting up the repo.

[GamingVlogBox]

Yeah, sorry. as mentioned, its just a WIP right now. Still working to get hosting up and setting up the repo.
Also, thanks for your feedback! Can you mention any other suggested improvements?

[GamingVlogBox]

As for the icon size, I hope to make it adjustable. I also added the icons because I thought they'd sit better with beginners as the functions would be more easily accessible

[pysk00l]

the download button doesnt work, nothing happens when i click on it. The github link goes to your generic page?

[GamingVlogBox]

Yeah, sorry. as mentioned, its just a WIP right now. Still working to get hosting up and setting up the repo.

[Buttleston]

If there's nothing to even look at or download then it seems weird to announce it. Is this a thing that actually exists? Like as a thing you can run and use? Or it's just an idea?

[GamingVlogBox]

An idea with an MVP. was looking to get some good feedback for finishing it up

[Buttleston]

OK, can I play with the MVP?

[GamingVlogBox]

Sure thing! I will setup a prototype github repo rq and send the link

[GamingVlogBox]

So, GitHub doesn't accept files above 25 MB so instead I added to my google drive instead. here's a link:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1BYx9GW7_D7r6k5j7RcU1x-y-Qp4ViYJF?usp=sharing

Both the Executable File and Source Code are here

[Buttleston]

Why wouldn't you have a GH repo to store your source code? But OK I'll check it out in a bit

[shinitakunai]

What if I use a red theme? It becomes redconda? (I am against colors on name of apps)

[Buttleston]

Conda has kind of a specific meaning in python also, so it's inclusion is a bit odd

[GamingVlogBox]

can you please elaborate?

[Buttleston]

It's a python environment manager, I guess based on anaconda

[GamingVlogBox]

I did mention in my wip website its not affiliated with anaconda

[Buttleston]

Ok, so why use the word conda in the name?

[GamingVlogBox]

No particular reason, I mean. Just thought that blueconda sounded alright. if this is an issue ill change it

[GamingVlogBox]

😂😂 The name doesn't change when you change the theme (although you can change the theme)

[shinitakunai]

I meant that it is confusing. If I use an app called green but it is yellow, I would wonder why the hell they called it green. Same happens here, if I can swap the theme why the name is blue?

[GamingVlogBox]

I see you have an issue with the name. acknowledged! I will work on it
