Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

  1. 01

    Limited integrations with non-Python web frameworks and tools

    Primarily designed for Python, lacks native support for popular JS frameworks like React or Vue.js

  2. 02

    Performance bottlenecks under high load

    Real-time updates and reactive programming can lead to performance issues in applications with many concurrent users

What it does well

  • Easy-to-use Python API for building web UIs
