Welcome to Abstra
👋🏼 Abstra is an open-source Python app and dashboard builder.
🧩 It simplifies building UI for Python processes in multiple ways, from a drag-and-drop editor to dynamic forms created with a UI-generating library.
☁️ Our community Cloud offers 1-click deploy, scalable hosting, cron jobs, webhooks and more. We also offer premium features for enterprise teams, such as built-in access control.
🧠 Building from scratch is expensive and time-consuming, while no-code platforms end up in lock-ins and logic limitation. Instead, Abstra combines the best of both worlds: build robust applications in a fraction of the time.
Installation
Make sure you have Python 3.7 or higher installed to use Abstra.
Open your terminal and type:
$ pip install abstra
If you already had our previous abstra lib installed, use pip install abstra —-upgrade instead.
Creating or running a project
To open the editor, use the abstra serve command. If you're starting a new project, point to an empty folder.
$ abstra serve ./your-project-directory
After the server starts, open http://localhost:3000/_editor to start editing in your browser. You can also access from your custom IP address.
