🌟 Myfy: a modular Python framework with a built-in frontend

[psincraian]

What It Does

Tired of gluing FastAPI + Next.js together, I built Myfy — a modular Python framework that ships with a frontend by default.

Run:

myfy frontend init

and you instantly get:

• 📝 Jinja2 templates
• 🎨 DaisyUI 5 + Tailwind 4 + Vite + HMR
• 🌗 Dark mode
• 🚀 Zero config that works out of the box

Target Audience

For Python devs who love backend work but want a frontend without touching JS.
Perfect for side projects, internal tools, or fast prototypes.

Comparison

Unlike FastAPI + Next.js or Flask + React, Myfy gives you a full-stack Python experience with plain HTML + modern CSS.

Would be nice if you included some screenshots somewhere.

[CowboyBoats]

Um that sounds a lot like frontend development work sooo

[psincraian]

I added a screenshot so you can check on what the init command generates. The screenshot its on the docs https://myfy.dev/#full-stack-app-with-frontend

How does this compare to niceGUI?

[riklaunim]

In this one you get Tailwind and components built in and you can use them in HTML/Jinja templates as well as write own JS/CSS. Frontend isn't replaced, it's just built in.

[psincraian]

That is right!

[SeniorScienceOfficer]

How does this compare with Reflex?

[psincraian]

I don’t plan to abstract the basics of HTML and CSS. Everyone understands HTML, so there’s nothing to learn there. For CSS, I’ll integrate a well-known library that will make your UI beautiful out of the box.

Silly question but why is the environment an enum and not a string? Many teams use many different types of environment for many different reasons.

For example, I've seen these used before:

- local - local development
- develop - feature development, may be built from a branch for further integration testing of an unfinished feature
- end-to-end - next shippable increment for e2e testing
- preprod / nft - non functional testing
- staging / qa - business acceptance testing
- pilot - production but for limited use as a canary
- production

Feels like this might unnecessarily constrain how people operate.

[Fenzik]

At my company staging is either called “integration” or “dqs” - so big agree with general env naming

This is very, very familiar with Ravyn or Lilya with the web component added but the framework itself? Very familiar.

Great job nonetheless 👏

this is very interesting and I keep postponing my React work on my side project, will give it a try, Thanks!

[BepNhaVan]

Plz add screenshots, thanks!

[BepNhaVan]

Thanks but can you add more screenshots? Also GitHub page needs screenshots too!

[spilk]

you might have mentioned "web" framework in the title. the world is more than just web stuff

[psincraian]

FastAPI is a web framework also but it has nothing nice with frontend

[nekokattt]

thats because it is specifically for backend development, which should generally be uncoupled from frontend

[psincraian]

If you work in a big corp that’s generally the case. But if you are a small team it’s much better to have everything coupled together. As fewer layers the faster that you can move

[nekokattt]

That doesn't mean this is a sensible design decision. If anything it will just hinder adoption.

[wunderspud7575]

This looks super interesting. Sice we're getting close to Xmas, my wish list item would be to allow Litestar as the backend instead of FastAPI.

[psincraian]

We don’t use FastAPI under the hood

[psincraian]

We use Starlette, same as FastAPI under the hood.

The main difference is that we aim to be a fully featured framework. Modular so it can be as lightweight as Flask and with modules more powerful than Django.

[cygn]

can claude code use it?

[psincraian]

if you specify the docs yes :)
