PyView brings the Phoenix LiveView paradigm to Python: build dynamic, real-time web applications using server-rendered HTML. Keep your state on the server, let the browser do what it does best, and remember what it felt like when building for the web was fun.

Quick Start

cookiecutter gh:ogrodnek/pyview-cookiecutter
