Flet - Build Real-Time Web, Desktop, and Mobile Apps in Python

Flet is a Python framework for building interactive, real-time applications that run on the web, desktop, and mobile without requiring front-end development skills. It uses Flutter under the hood but allows developers to write apps entirely in Python. With Flet, you can create dashboards, productivity tools, and collaborative apps with minimal effort. It’s especially useful for Python developers who want cross-platform GUIs without diving into JavaScript or Dart.


Installation:

pip install flet
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Example usage:

import flet as ft

def main(page: ft.Page):
    txt = ft.TextField(label="Your name")

    def on_click(e):
        page.add(ft.Text(f"Hello, {txt.value}!"))

    page.add(txt, ft.ElevatedButton("Say Hello", on_click=on_click))

ft.app(target=main)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

3 Project Ideas:

  1. Build a cross-platform chat application with real-time updates.
  2. Create an interactive dashboard for data visualization.
  3. Develop a task management or note-taking app with cloud synchronization.
