The stated goal/outcome seems pretty good. Glad to see more of this in Python in particular. To those dissing it for production use case over a hand build frontend by a frontend dev: yeah, no shit. But not everything needs such work put in. This is perfect for internal tools, and there's plenty of indie hackers out there proving that you don't need an immaculate UI to get customers anyway. Use it for what it is good for. We need more tools like this, because it cuts the development effort in half when it hits its stride. That's very valuable for internal tools especially, where you need something functional first and pretty second. That being said, as a biased Laravel developer, I can highly recommend Filament both as an admin panel builder and declarative UI component kit like FastUI. It's Livewire based instead of React/Vue/etc and so firmly within the Laravel ecosystem, if that bothers you. https://filamentphp.com/ |

Yet Filament manages to be fairly 'pretty' out of the box. I did a POC for a client project, and replicated about 10% of their current system in about a month, and got a fair amount of praise from folks at both the professional look/style/feel, yet... I did 0 on the styling, just used the defaults.
Yes, Filament has some rough edges when you try to color outside the lines, as with any toolkit. However, I don't think I've found anything else that comes remotely close to the combination of productivity and decent styling out of the box. Not just in PHP, but in any stack.
