Website, repo, Reddit post


My learnings

  1. Someone will point out why it’s pointless

  1. Someone will make it worth it


Results

Why Streamlit?

  • No one, in the history of human civilization, has ever said: “boy, this app is so helpful, but I don’t like it cos it’s written in X”
  • I can respond to feature requests in ~30 minutes instead of 3 hours.
  • Free hosting, because hobbies should stay hobbies.
  • Be a Jedi master, not a mid-wit.
