### Reflex

**Strengths**
**Strengths**

- **End-to-end Python stack** – backend (FastAPI/Uvicorn) and frontend (compiled React/Next.js) are generated from pure Python. No HTML/CSS/JS required and data/state flow is automatic via WebSockets.

### Reflex

**Strengths**
**Strengths**

- **60 + built-in components** with Tailwind styling props; modern look by default.
- **Wrap any React component** – easy path to custom or third-party widgets.

**Strengths**
**Strengths**

- Rapidly growing open-source community; React + Python combo means huge potential for extensions.

- Active core team, frequent releases, YC-backed funding.

- **Pick Reflex** when you foresee **multi-page navigation, real-time features, auth, or database-backed workflows** and want to stay entirely in Python without handing off to front-end engineers.

Both tools lower the barrier to web apps for Python developers—your decision hinges on whether ultimate simplicity (Streamlit) or full-stack power and structure (Reflex) better fits your project’s trajectory.
