Use any web browser as GUI, with Zig in the back end and HTML5 in the front end
This is very polished and cool looking. Inspiring. I find this project's level of polish very inspiring.
It's lovely to see someone has captured this idea and expressed it in the right way to make it interesting to many people. I really hope this mode of desktop apps can take off, at least to the level where the community has something to explore for a while to see if it works. I made something like this for Chrome browsers a while ago, nodejs backends, vanilla front-ends, built-in packaging using pkg. It's just a nice approach: https://github.com/dosyago/graderjs
And I made a demo using the venerable MS Paint clone JS Paint^0. The dev experience was great, I literally just dropped in the front-end code to the right folder, compiled it and wham, "desktop JS paint" on 3 platforms, haha.
Using the ubiquitous local browser as the rendering / API engine for desktop just seems smart. And it's technically interesting, because you get to think in terms of how can you step back from the browser, the platform, the front-end and the back-end and come up with a general API that addresses all of it, which is kinda cool.

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?
http-observatory - Mozilla HTTP Observatory
django-htmx - Extensions for using Django with htmx.
