Flet 1.0 – Build cross-platform apps in Python

Example choice criticism – Many commenters questioned why a to‑do list was used as the flagship demo for a new framework.

“Using a to‑do list app as the first example to advertise a new app framework is absolutely wild in Q3 2026.” – pietz

Python performance debate – The thread split sharply between those who see Python as inefficient and overly abstract and those who defend its productivity and ecosystem.

“Python needs to be in less places not more. I believe Python has done more harm than good to the industry… it leads you… to some very poor abstractions … and as a result code that is very prone to subtle bugs.” – bnchrch
“Big disagree. I've been following this project since it's early days… I haven't been bitten by any 'inefficiencies' … that'd make me give up the language.” – skeledrew

Framework assessment (Flutter‑based, web canvas, maturity) – Discussants examined Flet’s reliance on Flutter, its web rendering approach, extension model, and how it compares to older tools like Kivy.

“Yeah, I have been doing a small poc for mobile, then did a web export (why not) and the entire web app is one giant element.” – absqueued
“It uses Flutter for UI and native services, but there's a full Python interpreter there.” – skeledrew
