What it does

FastHTML is a new way to create modern interactive web apps. Scales down to a 6-line python file; scales up to full production apps. Auth, DBs, caching, styling, etc built-in and replaceable and extensible. 1-click deploy to Railway, Vercel, Huggingface, etc

Built on solid web foundations, not the latest fads - with FastHTML you can get started on anything from simple dashboards to scalable web applications in minutes. Click the buttons below to see four small, live components in action. HTMX is a JavaScript library that extends browser interaction behavior. With FastHTML you create good-looking modern web applications in pure Python and deploy them in minutes. A single Python file is all that's needed to create any app you can think of. Or bring in any Python or JS library you like. FastHTML provides full access to HTTP, HTML, JS, and CSS, bringing the foundations of the web to you. There's no limits to what you can build.

  • Generate styled web pages with just Python2023 · pyvibe.com · ▲229

    There are a lot of Python to web app frameworks going around these days but I wanted something that was a little more lightweight that just generates HTML pages and can be embedded in Flask or other Python web servers incrementally. PyVibe uses Python components to construct a page with styling that you can use in Flask, in a static site, or even in Pyodide.

  • Hyperdiv – Reactive, immediate-mode web UI framework for Python2024 · github.com · ▲170

    Hello HN, I'm releasing Hyperdiv (https://hyperdiv.io), a framework for rapidly developing reactive browser UIs in Python, with immediate-mode syntax and using Shoelace (https://shoelace.style) as its built-in component system. This short coding video will give you a good idea of what it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XJKfxaqvGE I wrote a brief article about the motivation and approach: https://hyperdiv.io/intro.html Hyperdiv doesn't aim to compete with serious full-stack frameworks. The core aim was to make it easy and fast to…

  • Next.js-like Python web framework, built for Htmx with FastAPI2025 · volfpeter.github.io · ▲6

    It's very early days for the project, but I wanted to share it to see if there is interest. It is the final piece of the FastAPI server-side rendering stack I started building with FastHX and htmy (the two dependencies of this project besides FastAPI). Think of it as a more powerful and convenient alternative to tools like FastHTML, powered by FastAPI (without any modifications). I hope you'll like it.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void. It's free, without signup, without cloud uploads (your files stay on your machine), and your projects are not used for AI models training.
