As someone who knows Python and always has to google CSS properties and javascript functions, this is a really sweet little project! I'm not going to reach for this if I need to have a website that needs to look a very specific way, but for cranking something out to display some data or documentation, this seems really nice.

Exactly! The use cases I've been hearing about are:

- You're a data analyst and you did some work in a Jupyter Notebook and now you need to give it a front-end so that other people at your company can view/interact with what you've built

- There's a Python library that's runnable as a command-line tool or importable but you want to give it a front-end

I work with data and keep having the first use case, and it's pretty common in my company. So far we're using Streamlit and Rshiny (bilingual data org). We're not really happy with Streamlit, since it's pretty easy to grow out of its pretty single minded way of working.

I'll definitely be checking this out!

what are your pain points w streamlit?
