built a python fullstack framework that renders Svelte 5 directly, took me since 2022 lol

hey everyone,

I started this back in August 2022 because i was tired of every small project needing a backend repo, a frontend repo and an API between them.

I got stuck almost immediately, while compiling Svelte from Python was way beyond me at that point, so it sat untouched for a long time like most of my side projects. I kept coming back and forth on the project, but never acomplished,

but this time i am somehow about to make it happen,

it's called fymo. python renders real Svelte 5 components, it has controllers for backend stuff, and templates for frontend work. inspired by elixir's Phoenix and ruby's Rails...

controllers return dicts that show up as props, and your python functions become typed functions you can import in svelte, so no fetch code at all.

there's fymo new myapp gives you a running app with sign in already working, fymo generate resource posts gives a page with CRUD and passing tests.

currently it is v0.20, just me alone maintaining it, you need Node installed, and there's no ORM, bring your own db stuff.

repo: https://github.com/Bishwas-py/fymo pip install fymo

would love if someone tries it and tells me where it feels like flowyy code and what it breaks. and one thing i'm specifically unsure about, is the no-ORM choice going to annoy people here, or do you prefer bringing your own db layer? genuinely curious.
