⁠Pglet - Web UI framework for backend developers

Build web apps like a frontend pro in the language you already know. No knowledge of HTML, CSS or JavaScript required.

⁠What is Pglet

Pglet ("piglet") is a rich user interface (UI) framework for scripts and programs written in any language. Python⁠, Bash⁠, PowerShell⁠ and Node.js⁠ are already supported and other languages can be easily added via Pglet protocol⁠.

Pglet renders web UI, so you can easily build web apps with your favorite language. Knowledge of HTML/CSS/JavaScript is not required as you build UI with controls⁠. Pglet controls are built with Fluent UI React⁠ to ensure your programs look cool and professional.

⁠Hello world in Bash

Install Pglet helper functions:

curl -O https://pglet.io/pglet.sh

Create hello.sh with the following contents:

. pglet.sh
pglet_page
pglet_add "text value='Hello, world!"

Run sh hello.sh and in a new browser window you'll get:

Here is a page served by a local instance of Pglet server started in the background on your computer.

Now, add PGLET_WEB=true before pglet_page:

. pglet.sh
PGLET_WEB=true pglet_page
pglet_add "text value='Hello, world!"

and instantly make your app available on the web!
