py-shiny VS inertia

I really like this idea of using Python to create both the frontend and backend. Another lib doing this is https://solara.dev/ . Something I particularly like about Solara is that you can interactively build your app in a Jupyter Notebook, since behind the scenes it's using ipywidgets.

Has anyone compared Solara and Reflex and can comment on pros/cons? Are there other options in this space? Maybe https://shiny.posit.co/py/ ?

Would you consider giving Shiny (for Python) a try? https://shiny.posit.co/py/ It's (I hope) pretty close to Streamlit in ease of use for getting started, but reactive programming runs all the way through it. The kind of app you're talking about are extremely natural to write in Shiny, you don't have to keep track of state yourself at all.

If you decide to give it a try and have trouble, please email me (email in profile) or drop by the Discord (https://discord.gg/yMGCamUMnS).

Code is here: https://github.com/rstudio/py-shiny/tree/duckdb-example/examples/duckdb

The equivalent of shiny in python is shiny for python: https://shiny.posit.co/py/

I'm not sure how usable it is, but Shiny for Python exists: https://shiny.rstudio.com/py/

There's Shiny for Python - originally for R - but it's only Alpha status: https://shiny.rstudio.com/py/

You mention that implementing Vue with Laravel is a headache but without mentioning what kind of issues you have had? Have you looked into using Inertia.js? (https://inertiajs.com/)

Inertia is what you're looking for, works great!

Don't know if https://inertiajs.com can be classified as unpopular. but I think it's one of the best web solution combining the best of the both worlds ssr and spa.

But, if I can be honest, solutions such as Hotwire or Livewire are not as snappy as a SPA.

I personally prefer [InertiaJs](https://inertiajs.com), which is some kind of front-end router system with its state synced with the server in an "old style" fashion.
