Reviewer scorecard
“The 'copy into your codebase' approach is genius. Full ownership, full customization, no version dependency hell.”
“Python script to interactive web app with zero frontend code. The caching and state management work well.”
“Beautiful defaults that look professional immediately. The theming system makes brand customization straightforward.”
“The UI options are limited compared to real frontend frameworks. Fine for internal tools, not for customer-facing apps.”
“Solved the component library problem by not being a library. The most practical approach to UI components.”
“For data scientists who don't want to learn React, Streamlit is the best option. Quick prototyping and dashboards.”
