ApolloIDE 🚀

A modern IDE built specifically for data science, powered by VS Code's foundation.

Overview

ApolloIDE is a data science-focused integrated development environment that combines the power of VS Code with specialized tools for data scientists, machine learning engineers, and researchers. Built on the same architecture as VS Code (similar to Void), ApolloIDE provides:

• Enhanced Notebook Support: Seamless Jupyter notebook integration with advanced editing capabilities
• Data Visualization: Built-in data frame viewers and interactive plot panels
• Scientific Computing: Optimized for Python, R, Julia, and other data science languages
• ML Workflow Tools: Model training, experiment tracking, and deployment interfaces
• Collaborative Features: Real-time collaboration for data science teams

Features (Planned)

Core Features

• ✅ VS Code-based architecture
• 🔄 Enhanced Jupyter notebook support

• 🔄 Variable explorer
• 🔄 Plot visualization panel

Advanced Features (Roadmap)

• 📋 SQL editor with connection management
• 📋 Data profiling and quality tools
• 📋 Visual ML model training interface
• 📋 Experiment tracking (MLflow, W&B integration)
• 📋 Collaborative notebook editing
• 📋 Data pipeline builder
• 📋 Model deployment tools

Getting Started

Quick Start

1. Prerequisites: See Setup Guide for platform-specific requirements

2. Clone VS Code base:

   git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vscode.git apolloide
   cd apolloide

3. Install dependencies:

   nvm install 22.20.0
   nvm use 22.20.0
   npm install

4. Start Build Process:

   npm run watch

   Wait for compilation to complete (you'll see "Finished compilation" messages).

5. Launch Developer Window:

   ./scripts/code.sh --user-data-dir ./.tmp/user-data --extensions-dir ./.tmp/extensions

   (Mac/Linux) or ./scripts/code.bat (Windows)

For detailed setup instructions, see apollo_setup.md.

Architecture

ApolloIDE follows VS Code's architecture:

│       └── workbench/
│           └── contrib/
│               └── apollo/          # ApolloIDE-specific features
├── scripts/                         # Build scripts
└── package.json                     # Project configuration
