Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes, this concerns the "package size" of dash projects, which usually exceed 200mb, when they certainly don't need to for projects that don't need plotly and only dash.
I tested this both on a remote server (serving the dash app) on linux and inside a venv on windows - the package size is dominated by plotly (screenshot for reference).
Describe the solution you'd like
A "minified" version of dash that doesn't include plotly features.
I think dash has matured enough after so many years to be a very viable package on its own - something I can attest to.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Using other packages like streamlit? - not comprehensive, not customizable enough
Using flask with templates? - defeats the whole purpose of having dash
Additional context
I posted this community thread which did not get "solved"
