Frameworks like this are really next-gen, but I wish people would think in terms of the bigger Python ecosystem and not just their own framework. This is about the fifth web framework which are not compatible with each other: Streamlit, ReactPy, FastHTML, Dash, Shiny, etc.. I created a truly reusable Python component framework which is just a a string generation library and can be used for ANY existing Python web fra…
I have been reading about these kinds of projects for some time, and even prototyped my own a while back, but one question that keeps popping up is - all these python abstractions over how html and js and dom interact tend to be extremely leaky. So, as soon as you go beyond the simple todo example, you need to manage BOTH the standard browser model and the abstraction model in your head, and all the funny ways in whi…
I have no interest on magical sugary functions that make something quick. The modern reactive concept doesn't impress me. What I want is a very well thought-out set of tools that allow me to do anything and everything, because I will be refactoring and fine-tuning my functions a lot, and I will do it my own way, I don't need some automatic shortcut which is not going to help me if I can't modify its full functionalit…
OT: is there a reason to open/close the DocType at the beginning of the homepage source?
First, I welcome any project that enriches a software ecosystem, and this project no doubt does just that. However, I have two points which will deter me from using this (or any python->html/js framework) in a commercial production project: 1. It silos front end development in Python world. It might be great if your entire team are and always will be Python devs, but what happens when you want dedicated from end deve…
We have 75 comments and no one has mentioned the awesome domain name? c'mon :D really excited for this project. I hope it catches on. It has some really nice ideas in it, like all the stuff jeremy does!

I will say I do think some opinions on how to structure URLs to return snippets might be valuable. Some of these frameworks leverage headers htmx sends to use just part of the page, but I think it is easier to just have individual URLs for many use cases. I've used Go and Templ in a similar fashion and one benefit with Templ is that the snippets are effectively functions, so returning the specific section and passing args is reasonably natural when breaking something out of a page.
Overall though, the goal is to avoid duplicating your data model and abstractions in the UI in favor of relying better networks, faster browsers, and HTML improvements to create interesting interfaces with simpler code.
People do all kinds of crazy useless things just in order not to do it the proper way in PHP.

YouTube instagram and Dropbox definitely don’t scale thanks to python. They scale thanks to the massive infrastructure they built around some python code. Cdn caches etc. we all know this. And they could probably save money by migrating to a more performant and safe language. But they have money firehoses and household brand recognition so they don’t care.
