Ask HN: Minimal JavaScript for simple UIs with Python back end
Hi all,
My team is primarily using Python and SQL and works with financial data (prices, timeseries, reference data, etc). We need some simple UIs (have tried a ton of low/no-code solutions but don't really like many of them) but have a hard time actually evaluating all of the Javascript options out there. HTMX, alpine.js, and next.js all seemed interesting but I am actually pretty terrible at evaluating options. Ideally we would be able to use a FastAPI backend and have a datatable with graphs linked to the data rendered.
Something like https://perspective.finos.org/ would be perfect (but overkill) but honestly been having great difficulty getting the examples working
