Just a heads up: PySimpleGUI 5 isn't open source any more [0], and the official GitHub repo was replaced with a stub [1]. From the blog post, it sounds like the people behind it will probably remove the FOSS version from PyPI soon.
It's possible the community will fork it with a version of PySimpleGUI 4 that's still kicking around, but I haven't seen one yet.

reacton

6 271 7.4 Python

A pure Python port of React for ipywidgets

Project mention: It's React, but in Python | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-06-05

2. Works with ipywidgets, so many existing data apps can be ported over very easily -- Jupyter users celebrate.
I'm not associated with the project, but I know the maintainers (creators of Volia [2]) and they are honestly excellent. I haven't use the project in production, but the getting starting guide is pretty compelling.
