We have 5 badges in total, and 1 of them to points to our integrations test passing. And the integration test do serve an important purpose in making sure we are compatible on multiple different os and don't make a change that would break WSL for example. More info here https://github.com/reflex-dev/reflex/tree/main/.github/workf... The others are the current latest version, python version we support, how many people…

They serve no purpose, other than make life hard for disabled people. I expect tests to always be passing before merging anything. pypi metadata has the list of supported python versions, in text format A link to your documentation? Ok but why can't it be a regular link? I use forums or IRC, so the online users on whatever aren't super meaningful to me personally.

I see thanks for bringing this to my attention, I didn't know that badges caused this problem for disabled people.

We will look into this, I think the info is still important to show but there probably is a better more inclusive way of doing it.

I don't know where you work, but at my company, I'm struggling to get people to use anything but Python.

Good luck with that! I think using python for anything beyond a simple script or PoC, should be taken as a red flag in development and immediately revise that decision of using it.

Everything but the Crab language is worthless fluff.

As as a meta comment the dynamics and interplay of language adoption and language evolution is quite fascinating. For whatever reason, a lot of people have learned Python in recent times. Whether the hype is data science, machine learning or AI, the number of users creates its own reality. So now you have some serious talent looking at the pain points people express about the platform, because ofcourse you want to ke…

Mobile is blocked by Google and Apple, that's all. You can't fix that.

What you can fix, though, is an ecosystem built on a pile of left-pad-quality hacks that change every other week. Hence the various attempts to jailbreak the accidental monopoly JS was born with.

Unfortunately, this project doesn't even try to do that, and still relies on that pile of hacks. As such, it's never going to be particularly popular - why suffer most of the JS-ecosystem pain plus the additional pain brought by a transpiler?

$5 million raised for hosting? I honestly fail to understand the ways of VC despite a decade of trying to understand them.

This is literally Vercel for Python, and Vercel as a company has performed extremely well so far.

It's not really much of a stretch to understand why they got funding.

There’s nothing user identifiable here though. No ips, locations, etc. I guess they could get it from the reception though hmm

> No ips It sends the information to a remote server, so your IP is obviously shared as well. It also sends a "project_hash" as "distinct_id" which sounds like a unique tracking ID to me.

I missed that project hash bit. Well. At least the tracking is disable-able.

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.

It has a complete code example in the README. Looks pretty nice for the use case it's designed for.

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.

I haven't kept up with web framework type things in awhile—how commonplace is this? from here it looks kind of insane.

Probably semi-common in Node world.
