I want to build simple and beautiful web apps quickly. Mostly data visualizations, but also some simple user interaction sites. I like Streamlit's design. Is there anything else I need to consider? Any other popular alternative in Python?
Matt Kiernander
We have a python app currently built with Streamlit.
In order to deliver this to customers, we need to shield the codebase and make it executable (for both macOS and Windows users).
Does anyone have any advice on bundling a Python app into an executable?
All we're hoping to do is package the Streamlit app into .exe or something similar.
