Experimenting with Starlette 1.0 with Claude skills (simonwillison.net)

simonw, have you messed about with FastHTML yet? It uses Starlette for the basis of my it framework as well (however it's quite different).

A tiny bit, but it never really appealed to me because I've never been heavily into the API-only version of web development - I still like building things that are mostly Jinja templates and HTML forms with a sprinkle of JavaScript.

My JSON API needs are simple enough that default Starlette handles them well.

I'm beginning to come round to the benefits of OpenAPI now which seems like a big note in FastAPI's favor, so maybe I'll give it more of a shot.

Just to be clear, I’m referring to:

Or sorry I misread as FastAPI.

I'm too much of an HTML and JavaScript nerd to get excited about tools that let me write my HTML in Python.
