Why should I choose this over Django or Flask?

By using Python in the frontend you mean the Python is transpiled into JS? The frontend uses templating or generates a SPA app?

Yes, in Pynecone you write your frontend in Python and it's compiled to a SPA, plus a FastAPI backend server to handle state updates. Django and Flask handle the backend in Python, but you still have to use Javascript for the frontend.

SSR is included? Do you have some project that is completely build with this stack. Some real life project?

We use SSG under the hood, a good example would be our main website https://pynecone.io which is fully built in Pynecone.

Not affiliated, but this isn't just a Back-end API that supports delivering html- it's much more similar to streamlit afaict.

Here's one of their examples https://pynecone.io/docs/getting-started/introduction
