What I'm Building
I'm currently working on an open-source Python IDE called Meridia — built with React, Electron, and TypeScript. It's still a work in progress, but the goal is to create a data-centric development environment that's fast, clean, and intuitive for Python users,
Currently building new UI.
Key Features (In Progress)
-
Inline Variable Results: See the result of
print(x + y)→12right next to the code line — live, as you type. - Mini File Previews: Hover over a file in the sidebar to preview/edit without opening a new tab.
- Meridia Studio: Drag-and-drop Excel or CSV files into the IDE, and they’ll auto-convert into Pandas DataFrames.
- Built-in Terminal and One-click Run support
- Data Cleaner for auto-fixing CSV/XLSX issues on import
It’s Python-focused and fast, with a UI tailored for data work.
Who This Is For
- Python devs and data analysts who want to work with data faster
- Beginners who want inline feedback while learning Python
- Contributors interested in open-source Electron + React apps
How It Compares
Meridia isn’t trying to replace VSCode or PyCharm — but instead focuses on:
- Inline output + minimal context switching
- Tight integration with Pandas/data workflows
- Lightweight and Python-only by design
It's opinionated — on purpose.
Looking for Contributors
I'm actively looking for collaborators who are into:
- React + Electron (frontend)
- Node.js + TypeScript (backend glue)
- Python debugging/runtime tooling
- Design & UX (bonus!)

Feedback Welcome
Even if you're not a contributor, I’d love your feedback — is this something you'd use? What would make it better?
Thanks for reading
