Duck Framework
Duck Framework is an open-source Python web framework and web server with a built-in reactive UI engine and real-time WebSocket support.
Build high-performance, scalable, server-side reactive web applications — without a separate frontend framework or a complex JavaScript stack.
(More badges — security, performance, integrations — on the Features page.)
Quickstart
# Install Duck Framework
pip install duckframework
# Create a project
duck makeproject myproject
# Change directory to myproject

HTML & Lively Components
Duck includes everything you need to build your UI, while Quirl, the official component library, provides modern, reusable HTML and Lively components for building richer interfaces and interactions.
