Doing it threw up a couple of gnarly edge cases for Anvil's Python wrappers and I had to drop back to js and HTML in one or two places. The team are on to it. Or will be after PyCon US.

I wrote a blog on it a while back: https://www.empiria.co.uk/en/blog/anvil/

I met the Anvil team at PyCon UK in 2017. Let's just say I haven't used Django, Flask or FastAPI ever since. They've done a fantastic job.

anvil looks cool! first time i’m hearing about it — do you have any thoughts on it compared to Flask or FastAPI + template engines?

Platform builders will always build platforms 😁😁
