What HN said
What people liked
Polished, well documented for a v0.1 release
From 1 comment
Kudos for how much polish and documentation work you've done here. It's rare to see a v0.1 release that's this accessible to newcomers, even rarer to see it all from one person.…

Tight frontend-backend integration reduces boilerplate
From 2 comments
i like the idea of tight integration between frontend and backend by abstracting out the api/data fetching/transformation which is a lot of busy work
android521 on HNThis would be fun to wire up into django middleware for some quick VM binding for react frontends. Appreciate the approach, as other's have said kudos and keep up the good work!…

Built-in SSR with fast rendering
From 1 comment
Yes it does! SSR support out of the box (powered by V8). This was one element of the Rust layer that was really important to pin down early and start benchmarking for…

Objections
Built on FastAPI, which some commenters avoid
From 2 comments
Very nice. I would probably not try it, as it's FastAPI based, but more of these things need to spring up!
robertlagrant on HNWhat's wrong with FastAPI?

Documentation does not show overall capabilities
From 1 comment
I do agree it needs documentation. It is really difficult to tell what the overall capabilities of the framework are beyond being able to serve React. You can have multitenancy…

Many moving parts across Rust, Python, TypeScript, React and V8
From 1 comment
This looks interesting, but there's a lot of moving pieces (rust, python, typescript, react, v8). Maybe remove the .DS_Store files from repo and update your gitignore globally to…

Built-in authentication, authorization and multitenancy
From 2 comments
Before I try a web framework, I want to know if there's an easy way to do authentication, authorization and multitenancy. Multitenancy may have multiple approaches but am talking…
samtechie on HNThis is awesome, thank you for building this. I've been looking for something like this for a long time. Does it have any built-in authentication features?

Svelte support
From 1 comment
Very interesting work! Thanks for sharing. How hard do you think it'd be to swap React for Svelte ? Not that I feel strong for one or the other but I'm the process of learning…

Django SSR support without Node
From 1 comment
Agreed. Would be very interested in the ability to do SSR on React components from Django, without proxying to Node to do so.

Questions
What does it offer beyond existing solutions for rapid prototyping?
From 1 comment
What makes it better than the current existing solutions though? For someone who is just interested in rapid prototyping?

Is two-way binding planned?
From 1 comment
Seems interesting as current Python-based solutions don't have good support for Javascript. I see the support for the binding is from Python to JS but do you have any plans to…

Is there a full example project?
From 1 comment
Looove that approach! Other than the TODO example, is there a full project I can look at that's based on Mountaineer? If I choose to be an early adopter, what are the current…

Alternatives named
Litestar
From 1 comment
I don't really like the maintainer model. I'm more of a fan of Litestar, as they seem to have a similar product but more of a mature development model. I could be wrong.

Dash
From 1 comment
I'm very happy to see that this package makes use of pydantic. I have been a heavy user of Dash and there is a ton of room there for an improved dev experience via typed…

CherryPy
From 1 comment
My own preference, probably not similar to theirs but coming from Django, CherryPy and heck, I'll mention even ASP .NET Core, I prefer to design my websites in a more OOP way.…

Django with HTMX or Django REST framework
From 2 comments
Django is better paired with something like HTMX.
lagt_t on HNMy usual advice is to build a tool that you'd find useful. You can do the Todo app if you'd find it useful. To focus on react learning use a CSS library like react-bootstrap or…
