• Ask HN: What low code platforms are worth using?

  The problem with low-code platform is that you are always restricted and can't go beyond what they offer. And someday, you will run across a problem that you can never solve with that platform. But there is a better way to do it. In my experience Anvil is the fastest way to develop a web apps. It is a framework that lets you do everything including Frontend, Backend and Database using just Python. I started using... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Ask HN: Why did Visual Basic die?

  > The closest thing I've found in the modern age is https://anvil.works - basically works like Delphi/VB, but web based, and in Python You haven't used Lazarus (https://www.lazarus-ide.org/)? - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Ask HN: Why did Visual Basic die?

  Have you tried https://anvil.works? (I'm a founder!) It's quite explicitly VB-esque, and the single-paradigm thing speeds things up even for those who can write HTML/JS/CSS in their sleep. Overall I think the development speed is comparable to VB6. (And of course, you can drop out to JS/CSS/HTML if you want.). - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Reflex – Web apps in pure Python

  Looks nice! I've used Anvil [0] quite often in the past years for what seems to be a similar purpose (not affiliated, just a happy customer). Does someone know how Reflex compares? [0] https://anvil.works/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Just ordered mine...

  As an avid vim user I gotta say there's times when it's not the best tool for the job, and this is definitely one of those times. The Tap (strap or xr, presumably) is worth it, just not for vim. I've been coding with the Anvil framework's online IDE and since it's an input based system as opposed to having a command mode, it's a great fit. Source: 11 months ago

• Pynecone – Performant, customizable web apps in pure Python

  > targeted html/dom/js directly instead of wrapping node/react/next This is more or less what we built at https://anvil.works (I'm a founder). We chose to expose the client/server dichotomy - you write front end code in python, with a Python UI toolkit, and we transpile to JS. This requires a little more understanding, but means you don't have to pipe every action down a websocket and back. Anvil's UI toolkit is... - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• [Python] NiceGUI: Lassen Sie jeden Browser das Frontend für Ihren Python-Code sein

  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: about 1 year ago

• What do you guys use python for?

  There are quite a few interesting ways to utilize Python in the browser these days. Each one uses a different approach with pros and cons. There was a talk called Running Python in the Web Browser by someone at Anvil (an interesting Python based web development platform itself) a while back that did a good job at outlining some of the differences between them. That post was actually how I originally found out... Source: about 1 year ago

• Where can I deploy websites that using python as a backend (web applications)

  Very possible. I use Anvil (https://anvil.works) to avoid getting bogged down in the underlying languages and services (CSS, JavaScript, SQL, etc.). It's "just" Python. (Yes, there are "escape hatches" for those odd occasions where you absolutely must tweak something at a lower level.). Source: about 1 year ago

• Milliner, a self-hosted Headscale Management WEB-UI. This time with Screenshots!

  Milliner, a lightweight Headscale management web-UI. Milliner is developed using the https://anvil.works/ platform and runs on their open-source Anvil App Server. Using Docker to run Milliner as an image is by far the easiest way to get started, as running the App Server standalone requires more time and configuration to deploy. Please note this is considered an alpha release as I am aware of some bugs and sure... Source: about 1 year ago

• Headscale API

  There doesn't seem to be much documentation on the Headscale API, but I am trying to create a UI using Anvil. Right now I have 90% of the functionality of iFargle's headscale-webui built into the new app, however I am facing a hurdle. If anyone understand's Python and or the Headscale API and can help me out that would be so great. Planning to release this application open-source soon so anybody can clone and...

• 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 / about 1 year 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).

• 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: about 1 year ago

• Using Coiled with Anvil

  If you're new here, welcome! Anvil is a platform for building full-stack web apps with nothing but Python. No need to wrestle with JS, HTML, CSS, Python, SQL and all their frameworks – just build it all in Python. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year 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.
