Current, Maintained interactive Julia gui system? (mid 2024)

I am working with a collaborator on a statistical model. Part of the process at the moment is to find an initial condition for optimization or sampling. The model is complicated but there are a number of plots that we can make which make it clear how well we’re fitting certain aspects of the model.

I created a gui with Interact.jl which let you adjust parameters and then see the updated plots interactively, but immediately hit the problem that more recent versions of Jupyterlab don’t show the sliders… Last version of Jupyterlab that worked was released like May 2023.

I asked on Discourse if there was any resolution how to deal with this Slider does not show after upgrade Jupyter - #4 by dlakelan

but got no response, which makes me think maybe Interact.jl etc are abandoned? There have been no releases for almost 2 years:

So what is the status of Interact.jl and/or what other interactive systems are in active development for Julia?

I’m aware of GenieBuilder, but I use VSCodium to avoid microsoft telemetry etc and the plugin in that ecosystem is way out of date… 0.4.12 from 12 months ago is the lastest available.

I’m not sure if that’s an oversight or because the Genie people don’t want to support codium for a relatively small group of codium users in a relatively small ecosystem of Julia programmers in the first place.

Anyway, any thoughts on interactive guis as of mid 2024 would be appreciated.
