Congrats on the launch! Great project and nice execution! Very similar to what we do on Flet: https://flet.dev https://flet.dev The major difference is that Flet uses Flutter to build UI and can target desktop, web and mobile. Also, we use WebSockets for communicating with the server which gives lower latency (the delay between a click on a button here https://pynecone.io/docs/getting-started/introduction https://pynecone.io/docs/getting-started/introduction and UI update could be annoying).

Thanks yeah we really like your project as well. We chose the react/nextjs ecosystem because we found it to be more developed and widely use than flutter. Which gives us benefits to be able to wrap more libraries either in our pynecone framework or make a third party component library. We thought about adding web socket and are still debating. The latency here is not from our framework though its from our server getting slammed with hacker news and reddit from our launch lol. We found the overhead of sockets not worth to for the majority of our apps.

  > The latency here is not from our framework though its from our server getting slammed with hacker news and reddit from our launch lol. Seems like this could be a major barrier to scaling, especially if /all/ reactive state has to be handled through the server. Maybe a future feature could be a WebState class that provides reactivity only on the front end?

First time reading about Flet. Good technical guide, a few typos but pleasure to read. Hope to try the project. Thanks for sharing.

Flet is a new one on me. Thanks for the link, I'll give it a try.

It took me a while to re-find a "Python web app" project that has been posted here and that I vaguely remembered. So I am gonna post it here. It's Pglet https://github.com/pglet/pglet https://github.com/pglet/pglet and Flet seems to be its spiritual successor.
