Affiliation​

The framework is part of the open-source toolkit of the Observatorio Metropolitano CentroGeo, alongside:

  • Dash Sylvereye: interactive visualization of large road networks for Dash dashboards.
  • Albatross Hub: the deployment platform that hosts Observatorio dashboards.

Built on​

Weaverlet stands on the shoulders of several open-source projects:

  • Plotly Dash: the web framework Weaverlet wraps.
  • dash-extensions: DashProxy, Trigger, Serverside, multi-output multiplexing.

Acknowledgments​

Weaverlet's design draws on ideas from React (component composition), Flux/Redux (signal/store patterns), and the broader Plotly Dash community's exploration of pattern-matching callbacks and All-in-One Components. The keep_mounted=True routing strategy is a direct application of the classic React "render-but-hide" trick to Dash's URL-based navigation.
