This is really cool - I love Python UIs. This seems very similar to streamlit.

But the demos aren't very pretty :(

I feel like being able to build something beautiful should be a requirement for any tool to build UIs. People like me who care about the looks aren't afraid to dig into CSS as long as you make it feasible (cough streamlit cough).

Thanks! Agree, we wanted to provide a high-degree of customizability with a CSS-like API https://google.github.io/mesop/components/style/ so you can create delightful demos.

Ah that's excellent! I didn't notice that, it might be a good idea to highlight it a bit more. On the front page, "Build custom UIs without writing Javascript/CSS/HTML" made me think CSS wasn't an option

Good point, we'll try to rephrase this to be clearer. Thanks for the feedback!
