pglet VS PyWebIO

It took me a while to re-find a "Python web app" project that has been posted here and that I vaguely remembered. So I am gonna post it here. It's Pglet https://github.com/pglet/pglet and Flet seems to be its spiritual successor.

Hey, try Pglet - it's very easy to get started and UI looks cool. There is a tutorial how to make a simple To-Do app in Python: https://pglet.io/docs/tutorials/python

Pglet website is made with Docusaurus and hosted on Cloudflare Pages. However, the following solution could be easily adopted for other React-based website frameworks such as Next.js and use a different backend for server-side logic such as Vercel Functions or Deno Deploy.

Pglet – Web UI framework for back end developers\ (25 comments)

Oh, ASP.NET Web Forms were awesome! I remember it was so easy to onboard new developers: built-in state management between requests, WYSIWYG editor, high-level controls abstracting from HTML. Maybe because I miss ASP.NET so much :) I started working on https://github.com/pglet/pglet to have something like "ASP.NET on steroids" - server-side controls with React UI. However, it's not a HTML passing over WebSockets, but controls state which takes much less traffic with smaller latencies.

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.
