For browser web-based GUI, you can use nicegui[1]

In PysimpleGUIAuth is a big limitation. It's not a built-in component, they have an example [1] using the FastAPI layer for auth, but I haven't had the time to try implementing it. It's definitely not something you get out of the box with NiceGUI.
For scaling, I am viewing it mostly as an internal tool builder. I wouldn't recommend it for external applications. So as far as scaling an internal app I think it works fine. Their website [2] is built with NiceGUI, and it works fine, but you can feel the lag occasionally on some of their larger demo pages.

In Show HN: Dropbase – Build internal web apps with just PythonHi Ken_At_EM, thanks for looking into our code! Our approach with context managers for defining "belonging" in NiceGUI resembles the nesting of elements in HTML. By implementing the __enter__ and __exit__ methods, we can manage the context when used with a "with" expression. In NiceGUI, elements pass down to the default_slot (https://github.com/zauberzeug/nicegui/blob/main/nicegui/elem...), which is a 1:1 representation of Vue slots.
We maintain a slot stack (https://github.com/zauberzeug/nicegui/blob/main/nicegui/slot...) to keep track of the current context (see http://127.0.0.1:8080/documentation#auto-context). When creating a new element, it finds its parent slot on the slot stack (https://github.com/zauberzeug/nicegui/blob/main/nicegui/elem...).
What do you think. Does it make sense? We appreciate your feedback!

46 points · Open discussionNiceGUI 1.2 – Bringing Electron-like Capabilities to Python with pywebview
We are thrilled to introduce NiceGUI 1.2, a major update to our open-source Python library (https://nicegui.io). With an emphasis on simplicity and ease of use, NiceGUI empowers Python developers to create user-friendly graphical web-based interfaces while focusing on their Python code. The library has been well-received, boasting 3000+ stars on GitHub and a growing community.
Lately we've introduced the "native" mode, which paves the way for Electron-like capabilities. By using "ui.run(native=True)", you can now create a native desktop window using pywebview, offering desktop-feeling on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Check out the video demo: https://youtu.be/xmWG2SP9WAI
Technical details:
NiceGUI uses FastAPI in the backend and Vue3/Quasar in the frontend
Each user interaction is sent via WebSocket to the backend, processed in Python; similar
Read the rest
ly, UI descriptions are created as JSON objects in the backend and sent via WebSocket to the client
While there are still many features missing for a full Electron alternative, with the great community, we will flesh this out in the future
The whole backend-first approach from NiceGUI relies on a fast internet connection and therefore is not meant to replace classical web apps; its main purpose is a quick way to build user interfaces for your Python code
We know the Hacker News community values technical details, and we invite you to dive into the GitHub repository (https://github.com/zauberzeug/nicegui/) to explore the code and contribute. We're eager to receive constructive feedback and improve the library based on your insights.
Join our Discord server (https://discord.gg/TEpFeAaF4f) and subreddit (r/NiceGUI) for discussions, support, and sharing projects.
We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing NiceGUI's potential unfold with your help. Together, let's make NiceGUI the Electron of Python!
