Stam’s showing us how easy it is to get up and running with Streamlit. If all you need is a no-frills site with some basic structure and interactivity, it’s pretty great.
You script what you want to do in Python, and Streamlit will render your site. Just a few lines gives you buttons, interactivity, a nav, and animations. It even responds well to desktop or mobile devices. #FrontEndSheff
It’s time for this month’s #FrontEndSheff 👋

Our 1st speaker Charles Boisvert has a real 'glass half full' attitude towards learning to programme - as evidenced by his X-axis reading "ease of use", rather than "difficulty"! #FrontEndSheff

Leptos code looks very familiar to anyone who’s ever written React. You create components and have a Hooks-like API for managing state #FrontEndSheff
Eventually the web app was replaced with a Leptos application with a Rust Web Framework which also runs in Web Assembley. This was much faster than the web app, but came with even more performance requirements. #FrontEndSheff
Following a big project to build a visually identical version of Blast in React, they started over with a blank slate version of the app using React. This had a fancier interface, and more challenging rendering requirements to match.
This version included running a web app with components running in Web Assembly as well.
This was what Prime Video looked like when he joined the team, which had the code name Blast. It was made using C++, but was hard to update and hard to deliver updates. #FrontEndSheff
Tom works on the Third Party living room team, which works on smart TVs, Sky boxes, PS4s, PS5s and Roku sticks #FrontEndSheff
