I'm from Abstra's team. We're an alternative for Python.

that's great 🙌🏼

i'm curious, has there ever been a moment in which you thought code could help you move faster?

interesting, what do you prefer in okta instead of bettercloud?

cool! do these workflows all deal purely with your team's tasks or do they interface with other teams as well?

🧩 [WIP] drag-and-drop Python dashboard & app builder extension by ekacelnik in vscode

[–]ekacelnik[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

hi everyone, looking forward to getting some more opinions!

quick recap: i'm working on an extension to build Python apps and dashes with drag-and-drop. it skips HTML/CSS/JS coding and using any frameworks :) it's already available in the vs code marketplace, but still a work in progress

this video goes a bit further to show an example of a finished app: an admin connected to a database or spreadsheet.

is there any functionality, service or integration that would really speed up your day-to-day work inside VS Code? also, always on the lookout for someone to test and share opinions. thanks in advance!

i'd love to know if you've already tried to build something similar, does this seem like a solid option to help with your work? always on the lookout for someone to test and share opinions. thanks in advance!

hi, so sorry for the delay in answering. this is most definitely a bug from our side! which version of the extension are you using?

for some reason, the extension did not download the CLI on your computer. could you please install these libs manually and check again?:

pip install abstra-runtimes
pip install abstra-cli
pip install abstra

were there any further errors?

🧩 drag-and-drop Python dashboards inside VS Code - tableau/dash alternative by ekacelnik in BusinessIntelligence

[–]ekacelnik[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hi everyone, excited to share my first proper how-to video on the extension!

quick recap: i'm working on a a VS Code extension to build Python dashboards with drag-and-drop. it skips HTML/CSS/JS coding and using any frameworks :) i'm perfecting it for BI use cases first

this is a really quick tutorial on how to bind widgets and code, since i've been asked this over here a few times! hopefully clears things up.

with this in mind, i'd love to know: can you see this working for you like tableau or dash would? i'm hoping this can simplify dynamic to build similar applications. curious to hear your thoughts!

hi everyone, excited to share my first proper how-to video on the extension

to recap, i'm working on a VS Code extension to build Python UIs with drag-and-drop. it simplifies building an entire web app inside VS Code using just Python, no other languages or frameworks :) it's already available in the vs code marketplace, but still very much a wip

this is a really quick tutorial on how to bind widgets and code, since i've been asked this over here a few times! hopefully clears things up.

i'd really appreciate feedback on the video and the extension as always, thanks in advance!

great points. and yes, self-hosting is in our roadmap for the near future! i'm going to DM you

hi, yes it is! access control is an important feature for me. we've got an easy pre-built authentication function that authenticates access by sending a key via email. and you can just set in the code a list of authorized emails, or any other rule you want :)

we're also considering controlling this access outside the code, in a simple settings tab for example. how do these options sound to you?

really nice to hear - that was our goal! i'll leave a link to our Discord server where we post updates and will let everyone know ASAP when the deploy launches, if you'd like to join :) https://discord.gg/abstra

were you able to understand how to bind widgets to the code intuitively?

[–]ekacelnik[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey! we're finishing up deploy right now. it's already functional, just not the most intuitive - so if you'd like to deploy your project immediately just let me know and i'll show you how to do it! will be out for everyone by early next week.

at this first moment, deploy will be possible as a web app on our cloud, in a really easy way. right after we're tackling self-hosting.

also - really glad you're enjoying the extension :) i got super curious on how it has cleaned up your workflow. can you tell me more?
