Thank you nima!

I haven't tried Chainlit and so I can't comment on that sorry!

Thank you for this warm inclusive answer :)

No body knows! This is a very fast changing space to be honest :)

I briefly mentioned about Shiny in my video, however, everything depends on your use case. Think about `scale` when things go to prod...

Excellent! :)

Thank you for your support!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I pretty much explained in the video that Streamlit is a great framework for small sized businesses or simple solutions. Definitely the JS framework competition is on! Appreciate your insights!

Thank you for bringing your insights. Really appreciate it! I am not quite sure when you say "Streamlit is a front and back-end in one". This is practically not true. Yes, Streamlit is a framework built on Python and yes integration with backend apps developed in Python (Flask, FastAPI, etc.) is seamless. Though, this is still a framework to make UI integrations. In any case, you made a good point of having a comparison of Python UI Frameworks. Which is an interesting idea!

That is a great start! Depends on the complexity of your app and I suggest if you have the necessary skills to run with Streamlit to get it going, then it should be good and as you take off then you can think about improving in the next version of the app.

@@fullstackailab thanks🙂

100% agree! You re-stated the points I made in the video. Thank you for sharing your valuable thoughts :)

Gradio is well suited for most LLM applications and yes it is for proof of concept purposes.

Great question! Mesop is relatively new and so from what I see it is best suited for LLM based applications and it's not a general purpose framework. A general recommendation, I would ponder on the business use case and user journey and more importantly find the answer for: Is it seamless with the backend? I see that Mesop is been out maybe in the last couple of months (the code base started October 2023). Assess new solutions based on the number of Stars on Github and the number of issues + number of Open Pull Requests. 1- You have no community support (if a bug happens wish you luck!) 2- It's best suited for AI Apps (as per documentation) so not a generic solution. Definitely it is worth examining though I would not consider a production app with this as the UI.

{ "name": "streamlit debug", "type": "python", "request": "launch", "module": "streamlit", "args": [ "run", "${file}", "--server.port", "8501", "--server.address", "10.11.20.154" ], "justMyCode": true, }

@@craintest Try put the "8501" and "10.11.20.154" in a new line. That should resolve your problem. Let me know how it goes.

I'm glad you find this helpful. I have found Streamlit helpful for the proof of concept step, though at some point it could be a hassle to switch to a mature framework to be fully functional for UI.

@@fullstackailab could you recommend some more or less lightweight python frameworks that are more suited for serious tasks? For example Django? Or would you say in that case it's better to leave python aside to go for solid frontend stuff like react & co?

Definitely if you or your team is comfortable with Django, that's a great to go with. Keep in mind that fullstacks can be powerful if both are developed in one language. It may also depend on the use case. You'll have more options when you work with Reactive frameworks. What you really want on your UI side really matters!

It depends on the purpose of the work. Indeed if you watch the video I bring evidence from a number of views (professionally). Glad to see that you're using a bussiness website with Streamlit. Maybe you can elaborate on what have you used as components for the Streamlit app.

Thank you! Cheers!

Yes! Indeed I have mentioned that in detail that for ML initiatives and DS, Streamlit is the first step!

Thank you for your feedback. Definitely I will keep that in mind for future videos and tutorials. Please view the other videos in the series and if you have any questions please let me know.

Thank you for bringing that up. I very much respect your view. Now, considering a custom CSS or styling for multiple projects at the same time is not easy as the styling working directory for streamlit is a common space between all projects. I look forward to seeing streamlit being the top notch framework for python stack apps. I use streamlit for most of my PoC works (not PRODUCTION though)

Do you mean framework with python or in general for UI?

@@fullstackailab Both. For example I'm an engineer who does not seek a career in web development. I'm busy enough as it is shooting rockets into space to be concerning myself with frontend. I need frameworks that abstract the presentation and communication with the server backend, which Streamlit does quite well. Alternatives?

Great to see that you're working with API Chain! If you are trying to develop your custom API_DOC I recommend take a look at the samples that exist in langchain's documentation. In the video, I showed how to find the API_DOCs. Also, if you search on `how to write api documentation` I am pretty sure you'll find some great resources. Keep on working on awesome stuff :)

There is. Only if you are expert in JS and set up a separate component that is running in the DOM and the streamlit can be streamed inside the JS component. You can use <iFrame> tags to include a Streamlit app inside JS. However, the use cases could be very minimal.

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for your feedback! Definitely Streamlit is a great framework for starting something pretty quick (DEV stage) especially when the whole backbone of the app (backend I mean) is Python based, then Streamlit is great! I mentioned this here 5:43. I have came across use cases that were badly backlashed due to the constraints. Again I am mentioning here 3:12 that there are works for improvements for pythonic UI frameworks. Appreciate your wonderful comment! I use Streamlit but I would love to raise its limitations to the community as well :)

Try stlite, a python library. check out their github page: github.com/whitphx/stlite

@@fullstackailab Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I tried to explore more about stlite but I am unsure of how to use it as the examples I have seen simply use st.mount and document.getElementById("root") to run the file, how then does this relate to my issue with session state?

Also just to note, from what I have explored it seems like ths st.lite web apps are still ultimately deployed to the web. What if I want to deploy it as an .exe file, because I want to access the app without internet access. Is it still possible to use st.lite?

This is something you can contact the streamlit team directly or ask on their community support web page. My knowledge is limited on the thread establishment of executable files when they are run in Microsoft OS.

@@fullstackailab I see, thanks for helping anyways!

In fact, streamlit delivers a good interface when the team needs a quick demo handy to deliver to the business stakeholders. Though I still recommend watch out for glitches in Streamlit. Stay tuned for my next video on `Why you should avoid streamlit for production` :)

Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed!

Glad it was helpful!

I hope this is helpful!

I agree with you 100%. There are some foundational issues with streamlit and the way it handles kernel processes that cannot be resolved easily. Nevertheless, data scientists at least have a easy-to-access dashboard to showcase results in DEVELOPMENT stage. For sure, the Production stage you need a fully reliable frontend framework like Angular, React or other JS based frameworks.

hahaha Pretty close but no He is not Stanley :)

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for your support!

Thank you 🙌

Thank you for your support.

You're very welcome!

I am glad this helped!
