pglet VS reflex

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)

I've been developing Pglet framework for 6 months now and I feel it's finally ready for building real apps.

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.

Hey thanks for the feedback. We're working on relaxing our dependencies [1] to make reflex more compatible. Do you remember what libraries you had the conflict with?

Thanks! Pue looks cool, thanks for sharing. I see some similarities to https://reflex.dev in terms of providing a declarative dom expression language with built-in conditionals and loop primitives.

In the dynamic world of web development, Python has emerged as a dominant force, especially in backend development – the primary focus of this blog post. Although it's worth mentioning that there are ongoing efforts to use Python for the frontend as well, like Reflex (previously known as Pynecone, they presumably had to change their name because of Pinecone vector database), which even garnered support from Y Combinator. Samuel Colvin (creator of Pydantic) is also working on FastUI (he literally just released the first version in December 2023).

They have a ready to use LLM chat App, which makes it more likely I will check it out.

We will use Reflex to build this chatbot.

Reflex is an open-source, full-stack Python framework that makes it easy to build and deploy web apps in minutes. You have most of the features of a frontend library like Reactjs and a backend framework like Django in one with ease in development and deployment. All while developing in a single language PYTHON.
