What is this?
A curated list of Flask resources and extensions, covering admin panels, APIs, auth, databases, task queues, tutorials, books, and hosting options for the Flask micro web framework.
Is this a library or a reference list?
It is a plain markdown list of links (an awesome-list), not code you install or import.
How is the list organized and where should I start?
Entries are grouped by category (Extensions, Resources, Projects, Hosting) with subcategories like APIs, Auth, Databases, and Task Queues; a newcomer can start at Official Resources for the Flask docs and Flaskr tutorial, then browse Extensions for specific needs.
Do I need Python or Flask installed to use this list?
No, the README itself is just documentation; you only need Python/Flask once you start using the specific extensions it links to.
Are entries vetted, and is the list kept current?
Yes, submissions go through a contributing process, and the project keeps a separate archived.md for outdated or unmaintained entries, implying the main list is actively curated.
Who is this list for?
Flask developers looking for vetted extensions and learning resources, from beginners wanting tutorials/books to experienced devs needing specific tooling like auth, task queues, or deployment options.
Are paid courses included in the Tutorials section?
No, the README explicitly states that free tutorials, talks, and videos are accepted but paid courses are not.
What kind of real-world projects are linked under Open Source Projects?
Notable Flask-built software like Apache Airflow, Apache Superset, SecureDrop, and FlaskBB, showing production-grade uses of the framework.
What deployment options does the list suggest?
It links hosting guides for Fly.io, Google Cloud Run, PythonAnywhere, Render, and serverless deployment via Zappa on AWS Lambda.
