There's a number of different png and gif files that will need to be updated to use the ReactPy name before this can go in. I have intentionally left the names of those files unchanged so they can be more easily found by searching for files with IDOM in their names.

I am going to begin work on the new docs based off import paths in this PR

[rmorshea]

@Archmonger, assuming no other changes are needed, I think we're ready to release 1.0 and execute the rename.

• docs\source\guides\getting-started\_static\embed-reactpy-view\main.py contains IdomView
• src\idom\_client\idom-logo-square-small.svg has a attribute of sodipodi:docname="idom-logo-square-small.svg"
• src\idom\_client\index.html uses src="/_idom/assets/index.a2011453.js"
• src\idom\_client\index.html.inline.0.js.map contains several hrefs to _idom/*

@Archmonger I think this is ready to go. The only thing that will be left to do after this is to recreate two gifs that can't be recreated until we release.

That was a long read 😅

The main nitpicks I have are related to wordsmithing the readme to increase information density, reduce jargon usage, and increase clarity.

[Archmonger]

accidental __version__ revert?

[rmorshea]

I think I condensed it down to one paragraph:

ReactPy is a library for building user interfaces in Python without Javascript. ReactPy interfaces are made from components which look and behave similarly to this found in ReactJS. Designed with simplicity in mind, ReactPy can be used by those without web development experience while also being powerful enough to grow with your ambitions. It has you covered whether you need to run a full blown application with a standalone server, or simply want try things out in a Jupyter Notebook.

Minor wordsmithing on the first few sentences:

ReactPy is a library for building user interfaces in Python without Javascript. ReactPy interfaces are made from components which look and behave similar to ReactJS equivalents. Designed with simplicity in mind, ReactPy can be used by those with minimal web development experience while also being powerful enough to grow with your ambitions.

Last sentence becomes unneeded if we're going for a hyper-minimal summary. But if we're keeping it, then it'll need a new line.

ReactPy has you covered whether you need to run a full-blown application with a standalone server, or simply want try things out in a Jupyter Notebook.

Something I'm now realizing, why are we using HTML tables instead of markdown tables? They should accomplish the same thing?

[rmorshea]

IMO, the md table was quite hard to read in raw text with all the links.

[Archmonger]

We should be consistent about our usage of verbiage. ASGI Python Frameworks are not servers. The word server only applies to things like hypercorn, uvicorn, and gunicorn.

• From the perspective of IDOM, they are backends.
• From the perspective of those packages, they are web frameworks.

[rmorshea]

How about “built-in backends” and “supported frameworks”?

[Archmonger]

Neither option gives a good indication of why we separate these two categories. Maybe we say something like

ReactPy Backends / External ReactPy Backends
