Pure Python Web Framework: Streamlit simplicity, zero reruns
What it does
I built Violit to liberate Python developers from the frontend. My goal is to eliminate the friction of turning complex backend logic or AI models into beautiful web apps. You shouldn't have to learn React or deal with sluggish full script reruns just to ship an idea. Violit combines an intuitive, 90% Streamlit-compatible syntax with instant signal-based reactivity and built-in themes. Build complete, production-ready web applications entirely in pure Python without the boilerplate.

- PWPynecone – Web Apps in Pure Python2022 · github.com · ▲209
Hello, we just launched the alpha release of Pynecone - a way to build full-stack web apps in pure Python. The framework is easy to get started with even without previous web dev experience and is completely open source / free to use. We made Pynecone for Python devs who want to make web apps, but don’t want the overhead of having to learn or use Javascript. We wanted more flexibility than existing Python frameworks like Streamlit/Dash that don't allow the user to make real, customizable web apps. With Pynecone, you can make anything from a small data science/python project to…

- HRHyperdiv – 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…

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
