Combining frameworks and project types
You can select both a UI framework and a project type. Their templates are merged intelligently — matching folders are combined, unique folders from both are included, and all packages are installed.
Example combinations:
- Flet + FastAPI — Desktop app with an API backend
- Streamlit + Data Analysis — Data dashboard with analysis tooling
- PyQt6 + Machine Learning — GUI for an ML pipeline
