zxuon Blockly based no-code (or code) Machine Learning platform you can click and run

Hi folks, I’ve spent the past few months building a small open source project that helps students learn Python, algebra, and machine learning using a Blockly-based platform.

It’s designed to be extremely easy to use—there’s no need to install anything else (like Python). Just download and run the DMG file.

Please feel free to give it a try! Any feedback is very welcome and greatly appreciated.

zxuon Cross-platform Desktop framework for AI

Hi folks, I have created this simple desktop framework to let developer easily create local AI app using Python (PySide) and React for ui. I have been using it to create a few edge AI project so far and decided to share it as open source. I'd like any feedback on how do you think could use this for your small project. I'd like to know what features you would want.

Thanks! Jeff

zxuon Is creating a Django backed reactjs (like nextjs but use django) a bad idea?

Nice! Did you use tRPC to pass server side data from python to javascript?

Yes true. What if could take advantage of both ecosystm.

Hahaha, I agree. I hope it can be at least better than reactjs + Django (API backend)

Thanks. Yes those are exactly what I am thinking but you described way better than me! Plus there are so many reactjs template that AI devs could pick up. The difficulty would be how to make the django portion easier for reactjs dev to use and reactjs portion easier for python dev to handle.

Very interesting. It's using django as API backend. Since they are already using nextjs do you know why they chooose django over nodejs for the API backend?

Thanks for feedback! I like "Start simple, keep it boring" LOL Yes, I am trying to replicate nextjs but using django instead for server side and still keep reactjs for client rendering part. I have been using reactjs + django from time to time. I am wondering reason that people switched from nodejs + reactjs to nextjs. What is the benefit for that?

Thanks for feedback! Yes I have been using plain old django :) as well as reactjs/nextjs in enterprise product for a while. I have also used reactjs + django (as a pure api backend) but the experience is not as smooth as nextjs. However, when dev AI/ML application in terms of DX, python (django) is definitely way better than javascript based backend (nextjs or nodejs).
