<p>Interactive dashboards are revolutionizing the way data is explored, analyzed, and presented. In the world of data-driven decision-making, these powerful tools provide an intuitive and engaging interface for users to interact with complex data sets and gain valuable insights. Python, being one of the most popular programming languages for data analysis and visualization, offers a range of libraries and frameworks to create interactive dashboards. In this post, we will explore some of the top Python libraries for building interactive dashboards. Whether you are a data scientist, a business analyst, or a developer, these Python libraries will empower you to create compelling visualizations and drive data-driven decision-making.</p>
<h2>Streamlit</h2>
<p><a href="https://streamlit.io/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Streamlit</a> has garnered a lot of attention since they were purchased by Snowflake a little over a year ago, and rightly so. It occupies the space right above Jupyter Notebooks in going from code to plots, forms, and widgets relatively easily with minimal code. Compared to the other libraries on this list, the API is extremely simple and intuitive. Knowledge of <a href="https://react.dev/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">React</a> is needed to create custom components since it’s used under the hood. If you don’t want to go that route, just pick one from <a href="https://streamlit.io/components" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">many</a> built from a very active community. They also have <a href="https://streamlit.io/cloud" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Community Cloud</a> where you can deploy, manage, and share your apps for free.</p>

<p>The biggest drawbacks when using Streamlit.</p>
<ul>
<li>There is limited customization, specifically styling things with CSS. You can hijack styling some of the elements by using their id; however, that may not be the best form.</li>
<li>Streamlit is mainly a server-side application. There is a custom component that accepts a string of Javascript.</li>
<li>Data changes trigger a whole page rerun. There are ways to mitigate this though.</li>
</ul>
