A common problem with Python applications is how to share them with other people. Developers frequently use a web interface to solve this issue, presenting the app's functionality by way of a UI. But that solution works best when the application UI is a natural fit for web components. Data exploration apps can work like this, for instance, but they also require front-end components written in JavaScript for ideal interactivity.
