2. Civic Auth

   Simple auth for Python backends. Drop Civic Auth into your Python backend with just a few lines of code. Email login, SSO, and route protection built-in. Minimal config. Works with FastAPI, Flask, or Django.

   

3. Flask-Meld

   2 3 316 0.0 Python

   Flask-Meld is a library to provide server rendered templates over websockets for Flask applications to build reactive components without Javascript

   

   It's great to have more and more of these projects, especially since frontend dev is such a huge time sink (if you're not doing it 100%).

   There are also some similar projects, for example flask-meld [1] for flask (also via websockets but falls back to polling if not available) and django-unicorn [2] (afaik only polling).

   The magical reactive component framework for Django ✨

   

5. htmx

   4 656 45,796 9.4 JavaScript

   </> htmx - high power tools for HTML

   

   This looks very nice, congratulations! I've been using HTMX [0], and I think having frameworks that let you have interactivity without having to write Javascript are very powerful.

6. dash_devices

   5 1 88 2.6 JavaScript

   A fork of plotly/dash to help Dash deal with devices.

   

   There is a fork / enhanced version of Dash that does use websockets: https://github.com/richlegrand/dash_devices

10. remi

    8 11 3,629 3.9 Python

    Python REMote Interface library. Platform independent. In about 100 Kbytes, perfect for your diet.

    

    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!

11. Apache Wicket

    9 11 768 9.4 Java

    Apache Wicket - Component-based Java web framework

    

    I think Apache Wicket takes a similar approach for Java? https://wicket.apache.org/

    I like the approach, and it's good to see more projects in this space.

12. purescript

    10 55 8,755 4.8 Haskell

    A strongly-typed language that compiles to JavaScript

    

    I get autocomplete and goto definition with dynamic languages just fine. And I make mistakes that static typing could have helped, but then again they are not frequent enough to justify the bureaucracy (and they don't break production).

    Of course, there is no general rule. This is true for the type of projects that I've been recently working on, which are small-scale distributed web systems.

    If a new project demands a rigorous type system, I would probably go to something like PureScript[0] before going to C# clones like TypeScript. It seems that the compiler would help me a lot more in a language like that.

13. PyWebIO

    11 24 4,742 6.1 Python

    Write interactive web app in script way.

    

    Awesome work! I also developed a similar project called PyWebIO (https://github.com/pywebio/PyWebIO) last year. It provides less control to HTML element but provides a straightforward way to make input and output. Hope we can learn from each other's project.
