apetuskey··on Show HN: Pynecone – Web Apps in Pure Python
Very cool I'm going to check this out!

Thanks, I prefer the coding ergonomics to Pynecone a lot more vs Anvil. Plus it's easy to for us to add libraries such as bootstrap, material, really any react framework so I suspect we will be able to grow this by a lot in the future. For instance we could have a 3rd party package for bootstrap, or d3js if people want this incorporated.

Anvil seemed a little outdated for me to personally use but to each their own.

Thanks for the detailed response we really appreciate it and see where your coming from. We definitely are not for everyone but if you want to completely stay in the python ecosystem we are a solid option compared to other frameworks. I think we are in a different class to some of the frameworks you mentioned though because you can actually create fully customizable web apps with us.

For you react/js was easy to learn but a lot of people don't want to take the time to learn this. At the end of the day every one has a preference and I see where you are coming from on this.

No definitely a much broader use case and we compile to nextjs/react and have nothing to do with gradio. With tools like gradio and streamlit you are very limited in use case. With Pynecone you can make full scale multipage web apps in pure Python that are completely stylable and customizable

With Pynecone you can create full web apps vs streamlit is a little limited in use case and worse performance but to each their own.

We actually make our whole website and docs in Pynecone where as streamlit could never do this.

Definitely we can add any react library just submit a feature request on our GitHub issues and ill get on it

Yeah definitely will switch it out just wanted to show a trending model
apetuskey··on Show HN: Pynecone – Web Apps in Pure Python
Lol yes our app will probably go down sometime today fyi to everyone

Thank you! Yeah we love bun too

This is actually something we are working on getting rid of. What separates us from other python frameworks is that we compile down to a nextjs/react app (the user never sees this though). This is really beneficial because it allows us to add any react library in a matter of hours vs other python frameworks where it can take a much longer time to add new ui feature. Also for performance and SEO nextjs is great.

But to keep it short there is a way to get rid of this in the future and we are currently working on it. So the only installation step will be `pip install pynecone-io`
