SymPy Plotting Backends

After discovering SymPy (a Python library for symbolic mathematics), I realized that I needed a more advanced plotting module 📈 in order to quickly visualize the functions I was interested in. So, I created the SymPy Plotting Backends module, which leverages the capabilities of several plotting libraries and widget libraries in order to easily visualize 2D/3D functions, vector fields, transfer functions for control system engineering and more.

Many things still need to be implemented, bugs need to be fixed and usability could be improved.

ip_address

ip_address is Plasma 5 widget to quickly show the public IP address and related informations as well as the status of the VPN (enabled/disabled).

Maintaining this widget is no easy task, because KDE runs over many distributions that evolves with time, each one with their own dependencies. Tracking down bugs often requires setting up virtual machines. Also, KDE's documentation is notoriously inconsistent when it comes to coverage of the functionalities. All of this adds up a considerable amount of time.

Join me in the effort to improve these projects 🙋‍♂️

Open Source is not sustainable without external funding, and I don't expect GitHub Sponsors to ever pay the bills. However, the more funds we can raise through GitHub Sponsors, then the more I can focus on these projects, adding capabilities, solving bugs and improving usability.

I believe these projects bring great value to their target communities. If you use any of these projects, or if you see value in them, please consider becoming a Sponsor today 🎖️🏆🏅
