When dash came out I was a massive fan but found the abstraction layer not quite right.

When writing a python script you tend to think from top to bottom - as your script runs through. Dash adopts the html approach of defining a document and callbacks. After doing the refactor to this model I found the trade-offs of Dash wasn't worth the time saved of going straight to a more traditional stack, and again you're pretty locked-in to this choice now.

One example was writing a Dash SSO component turned into quite an ordeal (more so than most SSO integrations) - my aim here is to make an extension like this easier because you've got access directly to the FastAPI app with `hs.app`.
