Hey Guys,

I'm following up after my post about the Python web application framework with UI builder.

I wrote a Reddit on r/Python and I got some comments and a few subscribed to be informed. The short video showing an interaction with the wwwpy prototype got more than 100 views.
The first reactions show interest and I think this could be a good starting point.

Below the details of the things I'm working on:
  • Business model
  • MVP
  • Early adopters


Business model
Free tier
  • runtime
  • UI drag-n-drop builder
  • basic components (button, input, switch, drawer, progress bar etc etc)
  • seamless client/server communication
  • watermark on the web page

Payed tier
  • same as above but without watermark
  • user management, authentication, authorization, roles and session management
  • advanced components. To be defined, maybe, graphs, advanced grid, etc.

The above is much a work in progress (like all the rest )

MVP
I'm working on:
  • UI builder: create a Python event handler on components (equivalent on Delphi when double clicking on objects)
  • Write a two or three how-to(s) on how create and run the first app and the first code to interact with the server

Early adopters
Ah! After posting/publishing that the MVP is available I hope to get a few people interested in interacting with me; what I'm looking for is specific feedback on what is missing or needed.

---------

At this stage I'm focused on product market fit.

What do you think?
Am I missing something that I should consider and plan on?

Thanks!
