    Have you considered a remote use case, using something like https://github.com/rawpython/remi ? My SD machine is a headless Linux box, so I'd love to be able to run this on the server where it's local to the images (and perhaps have a multi-image / gallery view)?

    How does it compare with remi? https://github.com/rawpython/remi

    Looking at the examples, for quick UIs, REMI seems simpler. And PySimpleGUI (https://github.com/PySimpleGUI/PySimpleGUI) offers REMI as a backend to deploy on web too (PySimpleGUI is pretty simple to learn).

    Making GUIs is always a fair amount of work/overhead on whatever you are working on, and I like to stay in Python when possible (I've used REMI (https://github.com/rawpython/remi) to create web apps before in Python). Thanks for creating this. I look forward to updates!

    I'd like to point to the excellent REMI [1] library that provides similar capabilities to Lona. You can create web apps by only writing Python. They can also be executed as GUI programs. You can even choose REMI to be the output backend of PySimpleGUI [2].

    Not sure what the differences are, but good to know there are similar approaches :) Maybe every project can learn from each other. Thanks for sharing!

    I have installed the last version of REMI (from https://github.com/dddomodossola/remi). When I launch the examples, like hello_world, all is perfectly displayed but the obtained UI is not reactive: no effect when I click on buttons, etc. I tried with Python 2 and 3.

    Help us fix web development at Anvil (https://anvil.works)!

    Web development is way too hard – Javascript, HTML, CSS, SQL, and frameworks coming out of your ears. So we built Anvil: a simpler way for anyone to build full-stack web apps, entirely in Python. Anvil is a web framework; it’s an online code editor; it’s a GUI builder; and it’s a hosting platform. And you’ll be helping us with all of it.

    We're looking for:

    SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS:

    Build the platform that's fixing web development for everyone. You’ll be working on the Anvil editor (that’s the development environment, code editor, drag-and-drop designer, version control, and so on) and the Anvil runtime (that’s the Python-to-JS compiler, UI toolkit, database, integrations, and the hosting engine that makes it so easy to deploy).

    Our stack is mostly Javascript, Clojure and Python (in descending order of line count). We don’t need you to be an expert in all of these already, and for the junior role we don't need any. Otherwise, we’ll want to see evidence that you can hit the ground running with at least one of them – or that you’re a great all-rounder who won’t have a problem with any of them.

    Much (or most) of your work will be open source: https://anvil.works/open-source

    DEVELOPER ADVOCATES:

    We need developers with great communication skills, to show people how to build awesome things with Anvil. You’ll be writing how-to guides, blog posts and tutorials, building example apps, presenting Anvil at conferences (when those resume), and helping our users – from individual developers to huge tech companies – build their applications. And then you’ll help us work out how to improve Anvil for them.

    It's rewarding work – developers love being introduced to Anvil (our stand is always crowded[0] at conferences!). Plus, there are all the advantages of an early-stage startup: lots of autonomy, and huge impact.

    We're bootstrapped and profitable, with customers ranging from tiny startups to household names. Find out more: https://anvil.works/jobs
