zauberzeug/nicegui: Create web-based user interfaces with Python. The nice way.

I stumbled across NiceGUI recently and it looks like a genuinely elegant solution for anyone who wants to build web-based user interfaces without leaving Python. The library lets you spin up buttons, dialogs, plots, 3D scenes, and more, all rendered directly in the browser with minimal boilerplate. What caught my attention is how well-suited it seems for the kinds of small, practical projects I always end up reaching for something heavier than I need — think quick dashboards, home automation controls, or internal tooling for a robotics project. With over 15,000 GitHub stars it clearly resonates with a lot of people, and flipping through the examples confirms the API feels refreshingly clean and Pythonic. The fact that it can also run in a native window via Chrome makes it even more versatile for desktop-style apps without shipping a full Electron monster.

Runno

It has some similarities with things like JSFiddle or CodePen, but can run Ruby (as well as Python, C and C++). It can even act interactively and accept user input (such as with gets). You can then take these sandboxes and use them on your own pages/blog posts, etc.
