Have you tried https://anvil.works https://anvil.works? (I'm a founder!)
It's quite explicitly VB-esque (only using Python), and having a single paradigm rather than stitching together several different programs speeds things up even for those who can write HTML/JS/CSS in their sleep. (And of course, you can drop out to JS/CSS/HTML if you want.) Overall I think the development speed is comparable to VB6.
- SuperHeavy256 3y agoI tried it out and followed the entire tutorial, but the compulsory 'anvil' branding on every free published app kinda killed it for me. VB never had that.
- basiskarten 3y agoBut VB also didn't host web apps for you including databases, user accounts, email etc. I think self hosting is an option with Anvil by now, in which case you may be able to remove the branding.
- anigbrowl 3y agoIt looks significantly better since the last time I checked it - well done!
- jimnotgym 3y agoReminds me... maybe I can finally build that app I couldn't be bothered to build before...
- basiskarten 3y agoI started with Delphi 5 and completely share the sentiment of OP, development experience (mainly when building GUIs) was way better back then. For anyone who feels similarly I can only recommend you to look into Anvil. It is a fantastic tool, under active development and with a helpful and supporting community. It allowed me to build web apps by myself that I previously thought about hiring someone for. Very enjoyable experience and of course the fact that I am building web apps instead of desktop apps is a big plus in many scenarios today. Great to see you here, Merdedydd! I was thinking about sending this thread to you. I discovered Anvil in a similar thread years ago and am very happy I did.
