#42Worth noting is that this framework has telemetry [1] enabled by default [2] which gathers and sends off various information about your system unless you explicitly disable it.

#43My major complain here is that, as far as being a web framework there is precious little information here about the framework. How does this framework scale with multiple requests? What concurrency strategy is it using (threads, processes, actors, etc?). Is this opinionated (it doesn't seem so but it also doesn't say it isn't either). How does this work with popular libraries x,y,z. The full docs have a little bit mo…

#44I'd go so far as to say the patterns are so clean they're almost self-evident, which is remarkable lift for beginners or busy people just mocking up something functional.

It's just Python code that gets translated into a NextJS app.

#48This kind of shit might catch a manager's eye, not a developer's one.

#49I played with this yesterday. The counter demo app (two buttons and a number) transfers ~2.5MB compressed, which uncompresses to ~12MB. Completely ridiculous!

#50I haven't worked with Python in many years now. Do people not use Django or Flask anymore? What's the recommended web stack, and where does this one fit in?
