Hello Coders

Because I'm a big fan of Flask and the open-source

concept, in this article I will present a short list with
admin dashboards built with Flask, equipped with a
minimum set of features and released under the MIT
license.

For more free dashboards, please access Admin

Dashboards - Open-Source and Free - Thank
you!
The motivation
Lately, I'm focusing a lot on boilerplates and
automation tools in order to win time, cut the
repetitive small tasks and use a clean code-base each
time I start a new project. To speed up my
development, my plan is simple:

Use stable and simple boilerplates with clean

code-base when I start a new project
Write tools to integrate automatically the design
(extract HTML components, replace hardcoded
texts with variables.. etc)
Use scripts to automate the deployments and use
modern platforms (Heroku, Azure)

The result, of those actions, is this short list with

Flask Dashboards, coded in less than one hour each.
The hard part, in this automation process, is the
HTML processing phase but I plan to write a separate
article about it.

Flask (for newcomers)

Flask (source code) is a Python web framework built
with a small core and modularity in mind. With a
small footprint, well documented and supported by a
growing community, Flask can be a good choice to
implement on top a nice production-ready Admin
Dashboard.

Thank you very much. Your article is very helpful. I'm new to web development,
actually, I've only made some REST API web servers with Bottle. Now, I'd like to
create a web app for myself based on one of these dashboards (and honestly I
don't want to deal with front-end a lot lot!), but I don't know how and where to
start. Can you please tell me what should I do? Can I develop my project by
altering and developing one of these projects?

projects.
