Nice! (starred and forked so I'll be more inclined to try it)

What projects do you feel this would be esp. well-suited to?

(your doing a "To-do" app where a list would normally appear was a fun bit)

Are there projects which you feel this would absolutely _not_ work for? In particular, I have an itch to do a line/arc drawing program w/ a canvas...

I plan on using it for semi throw away UIs for things where I don't want the user to have to spin up a Web server. Right now there's no canvas support, but there is that kind of thing in the Tk/Tcl docs (linked in the project). I probably need to add a way to reference a specific Widget so you can access the raw name and run taw Tcl against it.

why not just call it reactTK

I like the name, it’s a fun portmanteau of Tkinter and intergalactic. It’s also more search engine friendly and less likely to hit a name collision with another project.

Link gives a 404 :-(

Your repo link is probably not set to public.

Well that was dumb - fixed, sorry
