• kirigami - A web app that increases understanding of long threads, like PEPs on discuss.python.org, by giving the reader signals and custom views.

Learn more about our motivation to build these tools in our docs.

Two years ago, kirigami started with some notebooks and scripts. @willingc had a dream of making long discussions on discuss.python.org easier to understand and follow the flow of ideas.

At PyCon US 2026 in Long Beach, CA, @DEKHTIARJonathan, @willingc, and other Pythonistas sprinted on making the web app for kirigami come to life. It's still early days, but we couldn't wait to share it with you. 💕

Thanks FastAPI Cloud for hosting the web app.
