I developed an RSS tool using Python that essentially handles tasks like XML formatting and feed downloading. The app doesn’t require much user interaction, just an initial input of RSS feeds and some parameters.
It would be great if I could build a web interface where users can manage their feeds and parameters, then hit a run button to start the process.
I’d prefer not to rewrite the entire app using a web framework. Is there a solution to create a nice web front-end that interacts with my existing Python code?
hey have u tried using pywebio? its pretty cool for making quick web interfaces without rewriting everything. u can keep ur python code and just add some simple UI stuff. its super easy to learn too. might be worth checking out for ur rss tool. good luck!
hey there! have u thought about using streamlit? its super easy to set up a web interface for python stuff. u can keep ur existing code and just add some simple ui elements. might be perfect for ur rss tool! plus, it’s really intuitive to use. wanna give it a shot? let me know if u need any tips!
Have you considered using Flask as a lightweight web framework for your RSS tool? It’s perfect for your needs as it allows you to create a simple web interface without overhauling your entire Python codebase. You can set up a few routes to handle user input for RSS feeds and parameters, then use Flask to call your existing Python functions when the user hits ‘run’. This approach gives you the flexibility to keep your core RSS processing logic intact while adding a user-friendly web layer on top. Plus, Flask’s minimal learning curve means you can get your web interface up and running quickly. If you need help with implementation, there are plenty of Flask tutorials available that specifically cover integrating existing Python scripts into web applications.
