My opinion on this :

* Web with python : yes, make sense, python is very friendly it's kind of the closest to no-code we can do

* No benchmark : ouch, no way I am touching this without knowing, at least in the big picture, what to expect

* Front-end : so this is a wrapper of Chackra UI which is itself a wrapper of React (which is the slowest framework out there) -> not really what I am looking for. I can understand that for some quickly made website this can be OK. For a serious dev I don't think this will have much appeal. I guess you need to target casual users.

* Not much bloat on the dependencies so this is quiet good on that front, I was expecting way worse.

* Your a startup and backed by YC and I see no business plan, priced service nor anything alike This is very suspect, for me as long as I don't understand how you are meant to work in the long run I will not involved myself using your library.

I am probably not your target user, I will stick with flask/tornado for prototyping my back-end and use lesser known but amazingly light and fast front-end framework. Good luck going forward.

Any source on react being one of the slower frameworks and recommendations for alternatives? Just asking out of curiosity. I've been using Angular at work and always heard that React was a more performant framework.
ChakraUI isn’t a wrapper, it’s a component library for React. Also one of the best imho.
If you don't mind, can you clarify what is the fast front-end framework that you mentioned above?
I think they had a typo and meant to say Chakra UI: https://chakra-ui.com/
