Watch this in-depth @pydata.bsky.social 2024 tutorial on how to write a web app in #PyScript. It highlights the use of #LTK and shows a couple of applications that leverage both #MicroPython and #PyOdide, use external JS libraries, and import packages from #PyPI.

I have written a book and taught masterclasses called "Communication for Engineers." Next up is Lifesaver, a Chrome browser extension. Question for you: As an engineer, what features should the tool have? What problems are you facing the most in your career? How can Lifesaver help?

One pack costs you 7 hours of your life. My mom was a heavy smoker. If she had not smoked that much, statistically speaking, she would still be with us this Holiday period. 😞

I just submitted a tutorial to PYCON 🐍 US 🗽2025. You can learn from the creator (me) how to write a Python browser app using PyScript's Reactive LTK (pyscript.github.io/ltk/?tab=3). This includes UI, events, CSS styling, and third-party calls to OpenAI to create content. Pittsburgh, here I come! ✈️

The Amsterdam Founder's Dinner last month was a great experience. I am so glad I went. I made new friends, got helpful advice, and saw inspiring demos of new startups at the Amsterdam Startup Meetup. It was packed, with people even standing outside in the cold. Cool!
