Anyone want to vibe code that? I could use it for Django, instead of the horrible Django template language/HTMX/Tailwind/DaisyUI/etc..
I never want to write HTML/CSS/JS ever again. Give me Python UI components!
You define your UI in Python and the end result is a Vue/Quasar UI stylable with Tailwind (in case you want to poke at that) that is hosted as a FastAPI app.
(I'm a huge nicegui fan + contributor + I build tools and libraries for it)
I've also written a vscode extension to support some of the nicegui workflows, just search "nicegui" in the extension marketplace.
bad news => your gonna have to learn raku :-)
Web-related software development is hilarious in its creativity and absurdity. I'm sure it works, and well-tested too, but do we really need all those libraries and languages with cute magical names? I suppose it's smart people having fun while hopefully getting paid.
- HTMX is established as an antidote to React and similar overly complex tools
- it has started a renaissance in server side web design options
- raku (HARC), Go (GOTHH), Python (FastHTML), Rust (HARM) etc
- HARC builds on the declarative/functional approach of ElmLang
- Cro (web stack) and Red (Object Relational Mapper) are the raku "goto" modules
raku is well suited for this, but you do need to learn it.
Do we need a better way? Perhaps we should stick with the lovely situation we already have.
