Zenaura

[!WARNING] This library is under development, it's going to change a lot from now on; breaking changes may occur. Please keep an eye on release notes.

[!NOTE] Contribution is open , awesome features in the backlog so if you are intrested my email is linked to this profile.

Zenaura is a Python library built on top Pydide, PyScript, designed to empower Python developers to create light-weight, performant, stateful, component-based Single Page Applications (SPAs). By leveraging a virtual DOM implementation, Zenaura optimizes the performance, reactivity, responsiveness, and interactivity of web applications. This allows developers to build high-performance, dynamic web applications using familiar Python concepts and syntax.
