  Wagtail, our new Django CMS2014 · ▲166

  Wagtail is a new, open-source Django CMS focused on flexibility and user experience. It was originally built for the Royal College of Art, but now we're able to share it with everyone.

  Mesop – Open-source Python UI framework2024 · google.github.io · ▲130

  I’m excited to share about Mesop - a new, open-source Python UI framework that enables Python developers to quickly build delightful web apps in a scalable way. A small team of us at Google have been developing Mesop as an unofficial 20% project for the past few months. A wide range of research and product teams at Google have been using it to rapidly build internal apps and we’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback internally so now we’re looking to get feedback from the open-source community. We think that Mesop provides a unique approach to building web UIs in Python - making it both easy…

  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.

  Talanoa▲341

  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…
