## Relationship to Jupyter Widgets
**anywidget** began as a modern alternative for authoring custom Jupyter
Widgets and is now the [recommended
method](https://github.com/jupyter-widgets/widget-cookiecutter) for creating
them. The project has since grown in scope as [AFM](/en/afm) has been adopted
by platforms beyond Python and Jupyter. While maintaining its primary focus on
Jupyter Widgets, **anywidget** now enables the creation of custom widgets for a
variety of interactive computing environments (including Deno, R, and entirely
in the browser).
