Show HN: Angle – An open-source alpha-stage Matlab alternative (student project)

Hi HN,

I’m an undergrad student, and I recently started working on a side project called Angle — an open-source experiment trying to recreate the basic workflow of MATLAB.

GitHub: https://github.com/lixiasky/Angle

Currently, it's just an alpha preview. Only basic features work:

- Python script execution (standard lib only, no pip support) - Markdown / LaTeX editing and export

The core of the project is there — including a module system for block diagrams, matrix ops, and control systems — but most of the modules are not yet connected to the frontend, and some don’t align with UI logic yet.

This whole thing started after a talk at my university, where a senior student proudly mentioned how powerful MATLAB was. That kind of lit a fire under me to try building an alternative, with help from AI tools.

The codebase is rough, the UI is mostly placeholders, and only a few parts actually work. But if you're curious about the structure or want to help build it into something better, I’d really appreciate any feedback.

Thanks!
