Creating interactive web applications in Python has never been easier. ⬇️
In this post, I'll show you how I built a fully functional To-Do app using Dash, a Python framework that lets you create web apps without needing to touch JavaScript or other frontend technologies.
The full step-by-step tutorial is available on my blog:
👉 Build a To-Do App in Python with Dash (Part 1/3)
You can also find the source code on GitHub:

What You'll Learn
This tutorial walks you through creating a simple To-Do app with features like:
- Adding tasks
- Managing multiple task lists
- Saving tasks to persist data across page reloads
All of this is done entirely in Python. We will see how to use Dash plotly and pattern-matching callbacks to handle the interactivity (adding tasks, removing tasks, ...)
Why Dash?
Dash plotly is a Python framework built on top of Flask and React, allowing developers to create interactive and visually appealing web apps for data science, dashboards, or utilities like this To-Do app.
If you've been thinking, "I want to build a web app, but I don’t want to learn JavaScript," then Dash is for you!
Why you should try to build a To-Do app
🛠️ Minimal setup: Only Python and Dash are required.
🎨 Modern UI: Powered by an open-source component library, Mantine components.
😄 No Frontend Skills required: the app is 95% Python and 5% CSS for styling.
To-Do apps are a great example of CRUD operations (create, read, update, delete).
If you're a Python developer curious about web development but don’t want to dive into HTML, CSS, or JavaScript, this project is a great starting point.
Dash makes it easy to bring your Python skills into the world of web apps!
