5 Things I Wish I Knew Before Learning Streamlit

Would you like to understand the main limitations of the Streamlit Python library for building data web apps, before picking it up for a project?

In this video, I'll cruise through 5 obstacles that regularly come back within the community and multiple ways/hacks/techniques to work around those limits. You'll find out:
how to hack markdown and iframe to style your app
if it's possible to alter the Streamlit rerun event loop and Tornado Backend server
thoughts to build a desktop app from your Streamlit app
where is the ipywidgets integration into Streamlit at

After you watch me show you all those advanced techniques, you should have a good idea of Streamlit's limits and ways to go around Streamlit's "run from top to bottom philosophy" to meet your ends.
