Flapjax: Data Visualization on the Web with Plotly and Flask
Build a data visualisation web page with Plotly and Flask, and make it interactive with some UI components
Apologies: I deleted a previous post that referred to this article. I’d only written the first part and later decided that it would be better to complete it in a single article. So here is the complete version:

(Medium article - no paywall)
What is the best framework for building Data visualisation apps? Is it Streamlit or Dash, perhaps? Or maybe you could convert a Jupyter Notebook into a web app with Mercury, or Voilá?
All these are great ways of creating applications and are fairly easy to get started with. But what is easy to start with can often become a little more complex as you become a little more adventurous. So, I am going to try and persuade you that going back to basics and using Python server code alongside an HTML page for the user interface is not as daunting as it might seem.
