    I assume GP is referring to frameworks like Gradio (https://gradio.app/) and to a lesser extent Streamlit. Existing web UI frameworks for Python are somewhat opinionated around particular use cases, of which AI/ML is a prominent one.

    I haven't seen anyone mention Anvil[1] yet, but it lets you "Build web apps with nothing but Python." and is lovely tool that I've successfully used for a handful of side projects. But as someone who feels most at home with Python, I always love to see new competition in this space. [1] https://anvil.works/.

    I think they had a typo and meant to say Chakra UI: https://chakra-ui.com/.

  5. Brython's goal is to replace Javascript with Python, as the scripting language for web browsers.
    Plan probably is around a hosted apps model where apps can be embedded in iframes or similar. Vercel to fly, everyone is basically selling a flavour of Heroku with a desirable outcome of lower maintenance overhead. But yes, it is a tradeoff and the abstractions underneath are leaky. It is not just React but NextJS and then the whole NodeJS ecosystem which is surely one of the most challenging ones. That client/web part could have been tackled by writing a micro library in pure JS with no transpilers of any sort - and probably they might do it in future not sure how, but something like Brython[0] could be interesting.
