Build a web app in pure Python in minutes.
Deploy with a single command.
Completely customizable UI.
Scale from a small prototype to a full production web app.
I came across Reflex a few weeks ago for a project and was really looking for a toolkit that allowed me to build both the frontend and backend in Python so that I could stand up quick applications that could be easily integrated with tools and LLMs. Having to juggle Flask for backend with HTML, JavaScript and CSS was just too much.
Reflex makes it dead simple. 100% pure Python without giving up anything. The local runtime server does all the heavy lifting for you, including managing dependencies and watching for code changes and automatically restarting. Iterations are a breeze.
Reflex deployments are a true game changer. It makes it downright trivial to share your app with anyone.
The Discord community is also awesome, engaging directly with the founders for almost immediate support.
The only challenge that I found is that the abstraction layer requires heavy typing so you can’t just be sloppy and let Python figure it out for you. Deployed apps need a bit more observability too (logging, metrics, etc).
Highly, highly recommend.
@eschwaa Thanks so much for the feedback and support! Our top priority right now is to improve a lot of the onboarding and gotchas especially w.r.t. typing. We want to bring that initial learning curve down so people can just focus on their ideas and not fight with the framework. And agreed on the deployment, we want the hosting service to have full observability in the future.

@picklelo and of course the white glove support from you is awesome! I’m glad you are aware of the typing issues. And really looking forward to seeing the embedding patterns emerged as we discussed on Discord! Super cool stuff. I will definitely stay engaged.
