Please recommend tools for starting a text-related project

Hi people!

I want to create a Python application for Linux, with functionality like mind map and styled text.

Could you please recommend a library for that, with syntax as simple as possible?

I like DearPyGUI and I thought about using it, because it has

• simple syntax (compared to many other libraries, e.g. GTK).
• Node Editor.
• Tools for styled text, e.g. Markdown plugin.
• And it's fast.

Now I doubt that it would suit well, because

• Working with styled text seems hacky. E.g., Markdown plugin is very slow (because it waits for the next frame all the time?). I would have to write my own variant, but it might be complicated.
• And the future of 2D DearPyGUI is uncertain, as it's in maintenance mode. Meaning, soon I might hit a bug or a limitation which won't be fixed, and that would disable all my work.

I know it might not be the best place to ask, but Discord in my country doesn't work.

So I really hope you would share your thoughts. Please.

I know I might use

• pygame, though it's more low-level, but if it's the best choice, then so be it. At least it seems to stay with us for long, and be flexible enough for everything.
• Renpy? It seems it can provide a higher-level wrapper on pygame.
• pyglet?
• Not sure about "Python in browser" tools, don't know what to expect from those. (Though in general doing everything in browser or a similar engine might be acceptable. And server-client architecture might be alright. Though I don't want to write in Javascript (or C++), as it's much harder compared to Python.)

@v-ein , you seem to be the most active consultant on all things DearPyGui. Any thoughts? And thank you, BTW...

OK, I think I have an answer for now: imgui_bundle.

Sure, it could use better documentation, because I think using a library to write code should be like this:

• Read documentation.
• Write code.

and currently using imgui_bundle looks like this:

• Asking deepwiki, which is slow, and usually unhelpful or misleading.
• Writing code, and not getting what I wanted.
• Digging into the imgui_bundle code, vaguely guessing what I'm looking for.
• Trying to write the code again, figuring out how it should actually work.
• Writing code again.

With all that said, it's a nice instrument to use when you know how.
