> give me Visual Basic 6's UI builder and all the greatness of a 21st century machine, so that I could finally whip up an UI without yelling profanities at the CSS reference [...] that clearly just wasn't built for this Can I interest you in a VB6-y design/code/deploy tool with no CSS or JS? It's all in Python, even in-browser: https://anvil.works https://anvil.works

Also the Lazarus Pascal IDE is still around and is keeping the old-school VB flame alive. Just looking at the screenshots will make you nostalgic. https://www.lazarus-ide.org/ https://www.lazarus-ide.org/

Wow, I nearly forgot about it. Revisiting today, I see you've made a lot of progress. Keep up the good work! Btw, Anvil uplink works with a non-public IP right?

  Yep :) When you load the uplink library, it makes an HTTPS connection to Anvil from your code, so it can be anywhere as long as it can make outbound requests.

It's been on my to-try list for a long time. I think this is as good an evening as any :-).

After watching the demo and reminiscing of my beginnings in programming experimentation, I feel like this paradigm will become the de-facto way to produce an app in the future. At least basic CRUD apps which are still tons of standard boilerplate today. I could see this mapping to React(+Native) and generating mobile apps, etc. The future is bright! Great work on this!
