I see thanks for bringing this to my attention, I didn't know that badges caused this problem for disabled people.

We will look into this, I think the info is still important to show but there probably is a better more inclusive way of doing it.

We do use nextjs but I think what's the most handy part of Reflex is the simplification of state management and event handling so there is more complexity to the framework.

Yeah I see your point it's definitely something we are going to try and reduce in the future. We wanted to give the users the ability to wrap external react components and leverage that ecosystem so there were trade off we had to make.

The 3MB of JS is in dev mode or prod mode? (Is this similar to the other comment where they were running in dev mode but when they ran in prod it was much smaller ~ 340KB?)

We have 5 badges in total, and 1 of them to points to our integrations test passing. And the integration test do serve an important purpose in making sure we are compatible on multiple different os and don't make a change that would break WSL for example. More info here https://github.com/reflex-dev/reflex/tree/main/.github/workf...

The others are the current latest version, python version we support, how many people are on our discord (A metric to see community activity), and a badge that points to our docs. I think all of these are important but open to suggestions on ones you think would serve a better purpose.

Agree a little different approaches, we found many developers wanted to stick with a 100% code approach and avoid the constraints of using an online drag and drop builder like retool/anvil etc. Instead opting to stick a traditional code tech stack that provides benefits like easier version control with ui and reviews with larger teams. Where as with a low code tool you are now forced to develop on the ui platform and locked in by the vendor.

We have also had some users build some fairly large Pynecone apps including our whole website built in our own framework.

Planning on building a hosting service to host Pynecone apps. Still finalizing the details but as pickelo said in one of the other comments.

Thanks! We're building a hosting service that you can deploy your apps to. Our plan is to have a free tier for your first app, then charge for additional apps. We're still finalizing this, so would love to hear any thoughts.
