Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Launch HN: Pynecone (YC W23) – Web Apps in Pure Python
Looks similar to Nitro https://nitro.h2o.ai/ and Wave https://wave.h2o.ai/ - both open source. Nitro already works with WebAssembly via Pyodide. (Author here)

PyScript
Does PyScript offer anything of significance over and above what Pyodide already offers, other than several py-* tags?
In my experience, it's trivial accomplish this with Pyodide.
Here's a web worker that hosts Pyodide and loads packages, PyPI wheels, external modules, etc. and launches type=text/python script tags in-browser:
https://github.com/h2oai/nitro/blob/main/web/public/nitride....
About ~100 lines of code.

Ask HN: Visual scripting works well for games but not general software. Why?
I miss RAD tools too. Visual Basic was hugely popular two decades ago. The ease of building GUIs was unparalleled. That experience carried over to some extent with Windows Forms, WPF, Adobe Flex, etc., but not quite the same.
A decent blend of RAD and visual programming is the Max/MSP that ships with Ableton Live. It's fairly straightforward to build little audio/MIDI devices, then switch to visual programming for the implementation (objects/patchcords/control in Max terms).
> Doing GUIs only in code is tedious and boring.
Totally. But given that most GUI software these days involves client/server, I'm not sure if there's a simpler solution.
I work on Nitro[1] these days, and it's an attempt to make GUI development simpler and less tedious, primarily by trying to abstract away client/server programming and opting for a simpler way to program UIs without dealing with callbacks or event-handlers.

Coming to grips with JS: a Rubyist's deep dive
Then there are stack-specific libraries: StimulusReflex for Rails, Phoenix LiveView, Laravel Livewire, Unicorn and Tetra for Django, Blazor for .NET, … and the list goes on.
- Unicorn – A full-stack web framework for Django
-
Reflex – Web apps in pure Python
- you get one of the best ORMs in existence with great relationship handling and generated admins

Not 1.0 yet but I'm using it in production and omgosh is it easy to crank out UIs.

Django 4.2 Released
There's a brilliant project called Django Unicorn that aims to be the equivalent of Laravel Livewire for Django. You should take a look.
https://www.django-unicorn.com/
That and HTMX + Alpine.js are a strong combination.
(I also had a bash at building a similar tool for Django called Tetra but unfortunately haven't had the time needed to commit to it: https://www.tetraframework.com)

Launch HN: Pynecone (YC W23) – Web Apps in Pure Python
I think all LiveView frameworks should be part of this.
Here are two Python ones I've tried:

Phoenix Liveview Implementations
I'm biased since I created https://www.django-unicorn.com/, but I have a few thoughts. :)

Frontend framework for django?
Have you looked into Django Unicorn?
-
Endless stack in Django
Check out https://www.django-unicorn.com/ it is like htmx but is closer to Django.
-
Rails has Hotwire (which as I understand is an SPA-like integrated frontend with much reduced complexity), is there something analogous in Django? Is this what HTMX is? I really don't want to learn React or Vue..
When I was exploring the space, django-unicorn looked interesting also. But HTMX got me so far, so easily, that I didn't give unicorn a fair shake.
What are some alternatives?
