Ask HN: What's the easiest way to create a webapp to showcase my work?

Hi Hacker News,

I'm a data scientist and I'm working on a side project. I think it has potential and want to start showing it to the world and have people interact with it.

What's the easiest way to do this?

If it was a "static" website where I'm just showing screenshots, I would spin up a wordpress or squarespace.

But I want this more dynamic. I want people to be able to upload PDFs, have my models process them, and have the results appear on the website.

Is there an "easy" way to do this? My tech skills stop at Python though I'm happy to pick up new skills. Ideally though, I don't want the creation of the website to take longer/more effort than the core project.

You can get pretty far just with Python with Django. No need for an SPA and there are lots of libraries to make the file upload and such pretty painless.
