What Hacker News says
4 sourcesShameless plug for a similar project called Collagraph (https://github.com/fork-tongue/collagraph).
From the README: Write your Python interfaces in a declarative manner with plain render functions, component classes or even single-file components using Vue-like syntax, but with Python!
- Reactivity (made possible by leveraging observ)
- Function components
- Class components with local state and life-cycle methods/hooks
- Single-file components with Vue-like syntax (.cgx files)
- Custom renderers
Currently there are two renderers:
PysideRenderer: for rendering PySide6 applications
PygfxRenderer: for rendering 3D graphic scenes with Pygfx
It is possible to create a custom Renderer using the Renderer interface, to render to other UI frameworks, for instance wxPython, or even the browser DOM.
In React, but in PythonYou could implement a HTML renderer with Collagraph (https://github.com/fork-tongue/collagraph).

In Rux: A JSX-inspired way to render view components in RubyYou'll like what we've done during my Hackathon
https://github.com/fork-tongue/collagraph/pull/66
We added support for PyScript using Collagraph, which allows you to define single file components with a Vue-like syntax.
