Post Description

Hello, I'm Feodor, the creator of Flet framework (https://github.com/flet-dev/flet).

We've just released Flet Studio (https://flet.app) - a web-based tool for building and running Python apps in the browser. It was primarily made as a playground for Flet apps, but simple apps with just Python output can be run too (there is a console for that). Create a new app from scratch or fork one of 500 gallery (https://flet.app/gallery) examples. Share the app with a live view "run" URL. The app entirely runs in a browser with Pyodide, no server required.

Is it just for web? Nope! New app template and all gallery apps are complete cross-platform Flet projects with `pyproject.toml` - just download the app as a zip, unpack, run `uv run flet build apk` and get a working Android app!

How is it different from PyScript? With Flet you don't need to write HTML/CSS files or output HTML from Python - you build UI with widgets.

Would love to hear your feedback! Thanks for your time.
