About Reflex

Reflex is an open-source framework to build web apps in pure Python and deploy them with a single command. This can be anything from a small data science/internal app to a large multi-page web app.

We launched in December and have seen rapid adoption of our open-source framework, with over 80,000 apps made to date. In parallel with improving our open-source framework, we are now working on a hosting service so users can quickly deploy and scale their apps. We have raised 5M in seed funding in August led by Lux Capital with some fantastic founders as angel investors.
