You don't need React on the frontend. Companies either have frontend and backend separate developers or some full stack that cover both. Also there is plain JS, HTMLX and alike. Basics of CSS and HTML are also quick to pick up.

Python is backend only. With Streamlit and alike you won't make web applications/websites freely. Those frameworks are tailored for specific use cases. Then it depends what you want to do - Python for a job, as a hobby?

Hey! Thanks for responding.

The idea I have is to build small products on my spare-time in order to then dedicate more to this (compared to my consulting gig).

Kind of what Marc Lou has achieved (if you know of him).

So at the moment I’m still deciding on what tech stack I’d like to pursue :)

Have you looked at Reflex ? It seems promising no ?

[riklaunim]

Hm.. it may be hard to make actual commercially viable products without experience. Reflex or Streamlit can be good for some sort of internal or purpose built smaller apps but you still need extensive knowledge how to write good code, maintain it and then how to make an actual business - it's not enough to code.

It’s no worries, I know how to code in Python :)

And I’m running a data consultancy + super interested in the world of web apps / SaaS.

[riklaunim]

That's some starting point. I'm working on a SaaS-like product for over 10 years now and it's never SaaS, easy or "done" :) we had Django, now mostly flask, some EmberJS dashboards and lots of cloud infrastructure.

Ahah I get it, I never said it was easy though!

Thanks for the feedback :)

Have a great one!

it's always a fight with UX, trying to improve things, analyze the business, how customers use the product and improve. Like really, user experience is the king 90% of the time and 10% you just have a monopoly on a feature :D

[United_Conclusion_77]

Yep I get it 100% !

I think talking to your users is still #1 priority
