Django + Unicorn has a similar goal except: - you still use html and a templating language for the views - it mostly looks like old ssr code but you can transparently call methods on the server (like meteorjs) - you get one of the best ORMs in existence with great relationship handling and generated admins https://www.django-unicorn.com/examples/search Not 1.0 yet but I'm using it in production and omgosh is it easy…

This is kind cool. Closer than the Reflex thing to what I think would be cool. I wonder if anybody has made any kind of Python/Django system that lets you just write the front-end stuff in React but handles all the state synchronization stuff between React and your Python server.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

How about tracking licenses or subscriptions sold and show that to investors?

How do you do that with an OSS project that's on GitHub?

My 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…

I don't really understand how "stateless" fits in here. As in it's HTTP-based? As in it doesn't need a database behind it? What does stateless mean in this case? In general, I think the readme's not bad. I think the example is eye-catching, and I can imagine this would be really nice to make a prototype with. Whether or not it would scale well etc, yes, it would be good to have some of that detail. But I can see a re…

Worth 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.

"Why iy iy iy, don't you uuuuuuse it?" Seriously tho, when one sees the first word of a Python project with the description "Performant", or a project put Out There by someone with a handle not linked to a bio (even a fake bio)... Anyway, software regs ARE coming because The Way of software developers has not been obscured from public view for some time now and the (relatively) recent ransomware of municipalities and…

Why wouldn't it say nowhere (README, the website) what does it actually do and how? It's all marketing bullshit such as: Get up and running in seconds! Build web apps in minutes. Deploy with a single command. Build anything, faster. Create your whole app in a single language. Don't worry about writing APIs to connect your frontend and backend. This kind of shit might catch a manager's eye, not a developer's one.

Dude its pretty clear what it does just from scrolling down the readme. “Its just like php” if that helps you, but you can also write frontend state management and dynamic behavior right there in the “template”, all in Python.
