Hi, everybody

I have just started to work with plotly and I would like to ask whether is there an IDE for DASH potly development using python code.

I read something about jupyter and flask-script. Can something tell me anything about them?

Any recommendation?

Thanks in advance

I use [PyCharm](https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/). I use Jupyter notebooks all the time. But I don’t think they are useful for developing Dash apps.

Other IDEs that are a good fit are:

- Visual Studio Code [https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/python](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/python)
- PyDev [https://www.pydev.org](https://www.pydev.org)

Or just write your code in your favourite text editor and run it using the command line!
