dash VS PyWebIO

Of course there are valid use cases for splitting frontend and backend technologies. NiceGUI is for those who don’t want to leave the Python ecosystem and like to reap the benefits of having all code in one place. There are other options like Streamlit, Dash, Anvil, JustPy, and Pynecone. But we initially created NiceGUI to easily handle the state of external hardware like LEDs, motors, and cameras. Additionally, we wanted to offer a gentle learning curve while still providing the ability to go all the way down to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript if needed.

You could use something like Streamlit or Dash. In any case you will be accessing your app through the browser.

Useful list. Dash & bokeh as two more in the space

I also heard of Dash which serves the same purpose I guess, but I think it has more to offer.

Plotly is a plotting library, and Dash is their open-source framework for building data apps with Python, R or Julia. (Dash also has an Enterprise version, but we'll focus on the open-source library here.)

looks like you can get it manually (albeit with a loss of interactivity) https://github.com/plotly/dash/issues/145

Shiny is a framework that makes it easy to build interactive web applications. Shiny was introduced 10 years ago as an R package. In his 10th anniversary keynote speech, Joe Cheng announced Shiny for Python at the 2022 RStudio Conference. Python programmers can now try out Shiny to create interactive data-driven web applications. Shiny comes as an alternative to other frameworks, like Dash, or Streamlit.

To write web gui in Python, there are some other open source alternatives.

PyWebIO – Write interactive web app in script way

https://github.com/pywebio/PyWebIO is worth checking out, there's a demo page on data visualisation at https://pywebio-charts.pywebio.online/ that you could maybe grab code from to get you there quicker.

Here is PyWebIO documentation if you'd like to dig deeper: https://pywebio.readthedocs.io/
