• Launch HN: Pynecone (YC W23) – Web Apps in Pure Python

  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/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 days ago

• Why Python keeps growing, explained

  Delphi was that sweet spot for me. VB led to some god-awful things being created which Delphi handled much better. Even so, writing a GUI application was much easier 20+ years ago than it is now (though I'll put in a good word for https://anvil.works which makes writing web apps in Python as much fun as Delphi was). - Source: Reddit / 10 days ago

• Looking for suggestions for tools for sharing a program via webpage

  For the latter, the shortcuts are sites like anvil.works or streamlit.io - which is also very useful to sharing output from data frames / pandas and displaying graphs with interactive widgets. - Source: Reddit / 27 days ago

• What is the best way to build a web app

  You could look at things like http://anvil.works or stream lit. I’ve used anvil to build out something similar and it has been great. That said I’m currently rebuilding it using flask (similar to Django that another commenter mentioned) just to make everything look more professional so I may recommend that. - Source: Reddit / about 1 month ago

• Building an ML system to help with cooking using various Foundation Models

  I am working on a project the help people with cooking by combining various Foundation Models and would love suggestions and help regarding how best to deploy and share the system with others.

• NiceGUI: Let any browser be the frontend for your Python code

  Of course there are valid use cases for splitting frontend and backend technologies. NiceGUI is for those who don’t want to leave the Python ecosystem and like to reap the benefits of having all code in one place. There are other options like Streamlit, Dash, Anvil, JustPy, and Pynecone. But we initially created NiceGUI to easily handle the state of external hardware like LEDs, motors, and cameras. Additionally,... - Source: Reddit / 2 months ago

• creating a website that allows the user to upload a file and generate automated analysis output

  Anvil probably deserves some attention here. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• Show HN: Pynecone – web apps in pure Python

  I'm familiar with Anvil, this seems to fill the same niche. Anvil offers a hosted option and lets you design the layout in a graphical interface which makes it compete with low code tools. But this can also become limiting and frustrating. Pynecone seems to have a larger choice of components and they look more polished. I'd be interested to try it to compare. https://anvil.works/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Ask HN: Hunting for a Framework

  Pretty sure anvil is open-source now. https://anvil.works/ open source. https://anvil.works/open-source I should be a paid for how much I recommend looking at them, but I've never used it for anything production. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Python trying to load TfidfVectorizer's "transform" from LinearSVC??

  I am facing an issue that I just cannot seem to figure out. I am using a "full stack" python-based webapp building service called anvil.works. In it, I am able to load a couple models saved in pickle files, which seem to be read fine. One of the models, loaded as variable "vect", triggers an error whenever I try to run the script. It seems to be trying to find the "transform" function within the wrong library -... - Source: Reddit / 4 months ago

• Google Colab Pro is switching to compute credits

  I can appreciate why those were added - I've read posts and notebooks explaining how you can use ngrok or cloudflare to do those things violation of the restrictions in the faq and clearly many people aren't using Colab as intended. Speaking as someone who has been playing around with the Colab free tier with the expectation of moving to a paid service once I know what I'm really doing, I'd like to know if it's... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
