Use pyscript instead of streamlit?

MathewBiddle commented 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Right now the web application has a dependency on streamlit.

Describe the solution you'd like Wouldn't it be nice if we didn't need to have the dependency on streamlit? @ocefpaf mentioned pyscript could be a neat solution to building this web application.

PyScript is a framework that allows users to create rich Python applications in the browser using HTML’s interface. PyScript aims to give users a first-class programming language that has consistent styling rules, is more expressive, and is easier to learn.

Describe alternatives you've considered Leaving the dependency on streamlit

The main advantages of pyscript for this apo would be:

serveless app, no need for streamlit or similar tech, everything would run in the browser
no upload limit b/c the data would live only in the user browser/computer
safer for those who to not want to share their data outside their group (again, no real uploads)

more fodder to move to pyscript. When I try to go to the Live Web App, I receive this error:

I forgot to report here but the latest version of ioos_qc works beautifully with pyodide+pyscript. Here is a draft with a few examples. One can test it here: https://ocefpaf.github.io/ioos_qc_webapp/ioos_qc_browser.html

@Dylan-Pugh and @gp86041 it would be nice to re-write this app with pyscript only. If you want to experiment with that please ping me and I can help you out.

During this years DMAC meeting there was a presentation of QC tests ran in the cloud. That made me think of this effort, but unfortunately streamlit stopped this activity. Any continued thoughts on moving to pyscript?

Looks like it's broken

Above works. The app was put to sleep since no one was using it.

@MathewBiddle I am interested in helping with this effort. The problem is my availabilities are non-existent these days. What is an ideal target deadline?

MathewBiddle commented 1 year ago

Maybe 2024 IOOS Code Sprint this spring?

Dylan-Pugh commented 1 year ago

That sounds good to me @MathewBiddle - I'm in the same boat as Jeff, interested but busy!

gp86041 commented 1 year ago

Sounds good, @MathewBiddle.

@Dylan-Pugh Looking forward to continuing working on this with you next year! I might start tiny bits here and there, but major progress will definitely be for Code Sprint.

Dylan-Pugh commented 1 year ago

Looking forward to it! Thinking long-term, a great first step might be to build a public API for the IOOS QC library, which is something we discussed last time. I've done something similar with this internal tool, which I contribute to sporadically:

I've found that Streamlit plays nicely with a REST API, but it would also allow us to swap the front-end at will. I have the beginnings of a GUI for QC here:
