Felt: The fastest way to build Flutter apps in Python

I think Flet looks super interesting as an app framework that combines Flutter with Python. I'm not in general convinced that Flutter solves everything, or that there is any "one size fits all" framework. However this is a really compelling framework for some apps!

Interestingly it looks like, for the web app version, they have a permanent web socket to Python on the server, a bit like Phoenix Liveview. I wander if that could be removed by using PyScript to run the Python layer in browser.

I wander if the desktop version (and planed mobile apps) is the same, with a web-socket back to a Python server.

(Just noticed my typo in the title, it should be Flet, could a mod change it? It well passed the edit window)

In the beginning, for mobile it's going to be a websocket to a Python server - kind of server-driven UI (SDUI) approach. Then we'll look into packaging everything into a standalone mobile app: https://flet.dev/blog/flet-mobile-strategy

For desktop using WebSockets within localhost doesn't really add a noticable overhead.

Awesome!. Would love to see mobile apps soon available to start using it.
