Anvil: full stack web apps built only with Python

I would bet that you would need about the same amount of time nomatter what technology you used. The catch is this sentence:

> I literally just spent about a month hacking on flask-security to get the login/email-confirmations/email templates/argon2-hashing/2-factor-auth the way I need it.

I don't know Anvil but I am sure it has a specific way of dealing with login/signup/... - just like every other framework. And if you want to modify it, well, that takes time. And I am guessing it was the same with other tasks.

There is nothing wrong with that, of course. Just saying. :)

I'd take the other side of that bet ;)

Anvil's built in "Users" service is incredibly simple and un-magical (user records are just database rows, and you can reimplement vanilla password login in four lines). This makes hacking on it an awful lot easier than some magically injected extension that needs to be configured just so.
