Currently, flet-pyodide dist folder is generated by a simple command called flet publish.

But the problem is, if you want to put this dist folder in a specific path on your webhost, you need to specify it by --base-url, then this set a <base href="/"> based on --base-url value. This can be easier if the javascript set the base-url to be set automatically. I did edit the <base href on index.html of the dist file to make it choosen automatic, and it did work, this is what I did:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
  <!-- Here is the replacement of <base href=""> -->
  <script>
    const head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
    const base = document.createElement('base');
    base.href = window.location.origin + window.location.pathname;
    head.appendChild(base);
  </script>

  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta content="IE=Edge" http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible">
  <meta name="description" content="Flet application.">

So, what the advantages of using this:

more simplicity.
Can put it on any path without requiring to rePublish it to update the --base-url.

Can flet use this ?

Hm, that works in one specific case only: statically published web site with # used for routing. Otherwise, visiting a page with a routing would use a wrong path. For example, going to https://flet-controls-gallery.fly.dev/buttons/elevatedbutton will put /buttons/elevatedbutton to base href which is incorrect base path for resources.
But the idea is definitely nice!
