Quickly create beautiful reactive GUIs for Python packages using Markdown and a few custom HTML elements. Under the hood it uses the Jupyter Notebook server, Angular, Angular Material, Phosphor and JupyterLab.

Display is based upon the cell output within JupyterLab's notebook so most items that display within the notebook should work here.

To quickly take it for a spin write:

pip install scriptedforms

Then open a python prompt (not an ipython prompt) and copy in the following:

import scriptedforms as sf

# workaround for https://github.com/SimonBiggs/scriptedforms/issues/24
def create_file(filename, contents):
    with open(filename, 'w') as f:
        f.write(contents)

filename = 'quick-start.md'
markdown_contents = """
# An example

<section-live>

<variable-string>your_name</variable-string>

`print('Hello {}!'.format(your_name))`

</section-live>"""

create_file(filename, markdown_contents)
sf.load(filename)

See https://github.com/SimonBiggs/scriptedforms for how you can then edit the resulting markdown file and how you can use Scripted Forms to quickly make GUIs for your python package utilities.
