Pyder [ ALPHA ]

Ever wanted Tauri or Wails but wanted Python's backend? Well, fear no more on finding them!

Pyder is a project meant for an alterantive to Wails and Tauri for Python developers who wants to make a webapp with a Framework (Svelte, React, Vue, etc...) and a Python backend.

psst, the joke in the project name is pyweb but the Web reference as a spider web and now it's called Pyder.

How does this work?

Pyder uses three things. PyWebView, NodeJS, and Vite. PyWebView to show as a window and run a server, NodeJS to handle every web component, Vite to build the web app.

When initialized, PyWebView, and Vite will be pre-installed with your preferred package manager.

If you're confused, here's a whiteboard on how Pyder works in a nutshell.

How do I install X package in Python/Node PM?

To install X package in Python, all you need to do is:

• Be in a virtual environment (source venv/bin/activate, or venv\Scripts\Activate)
• And just use pip to install whatever package you want. For example, requests! Just do pip install requests.

To install X package in Node PM, all you need to do is:

• Install it with your preferred NodeJS package manager. Just do something like pnpm add marked or npm install marked.

Make sure when installing X package in Python, or Node PM, you're in your project root.

How is this project being funded?

Nothing-burger. 0$ Funded. Free and Open source, fuck paying. Although, if you want to support the project, you can give us anything, really.
