Creating Data Apps in Pure Python

This document discusses Streamlit, an open-source Python library that allows users to turn Python scripts into web apps. Streamlit makes it easy to build machine learning interfaces and visualize data without requiring frontend experience or knowledge of JavaScript. It is compatible with major frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow. Some key use cases mentioned include creating interfaces for machine learning models to make predictions and visualizing datasets on maps or with histograms. The document provides examples of visualizing image classification and travel location data with Streamlit. Overall, Streamlit is presented as a good option for data scientists to showcase solutions without having to deal with frontend development.
