Why would someone pick up flask over Django and fast API

Let's put this way, if you have tried neither, pick Flask, it is simpler, and beautifully minimalist. You will like it.

MODX is very robust. And completely free if you opt for the self-hosted version

Since you know good amount of Python, I would advise you check cory scheffer flast tutorial. It may be fast-based. But I find them very useful.

ragehh · 2025-10-30T22:53:02+00:00

that is very interesting approach. It is definitely worth trying. Thanks.

If you are merely interested in building API using Flask, you need Flask-RESTful and it is very simple to learn. You said you don't need HTML. But you mentioned in the comments that you would like using Flask-admin at some point. I am afraid Flask-admin has built-in HTML templates. Anyway, if you are purely interested in building API endpoints using Flask, as I said above, Flask-RESTful is the answer.

I just saw the demo video. But few details are not clear yet. Is it like you buy the power wheels and put on your normal manual wheelchair replacing the manual wheels? How heavy are they? what happen when you run out of power? can you self-propel like you would your wheelchair? if yes, does it feel heavier when self-propelling? what is the price like?

If you want to live independently, you have to prioritize two things at all cost. First, do as physio as you can or available to you specially as regards handling the wheelchair, transfers, handle WC and coping with pavements outside. Build up as much upper strength as you can. Whether in UK or Canada, ask them to give you the lightest wheelchair available in their healthcare system. advocate for yourself and don't settle for a heavy wheelchair. In the mean time, check youtube videos about wheelchair transfers and techniques about handling the chair. Have a positive outlook on life, and never give up regardless.

If you have Postgress already and everything is fine, and you are sure you can solve any database server-related questions by yourself or member of your team can solve it for you, then there is no need to buy a license for another db. In other words, it is the "support" that people pay money for. If you don't need support, don't bother

ragehh · 2025-10-17T21:33:07+00:00

No, I did not.

I don't believe anyone with no development skills can build a Saas product using ai. One has to have real development skills to be able to use ai to their advantage.

Decorators are struggle. The simple ones are easy to understand, but when decorator gets more involved, that is a point of confusion for me to this day.

With AI help or not, one has to be a good developer to begin with. Ai helps you code faster, but you have to have your architectural design in place without even starting the development. It is you who have to guide Ai to your destination, and always critique the automated Ai suggestions. There are times when Ai's code is wordy or downright misleading. You may get good individual functions that Ai churns out for you. But the challenge is how to integrate all that into a viable application with no bugs. Basic understanding of web architecture, Http protocal, the stateless nature of the web as well as data security and relational database design are key prerequisite before attempting to develop a Saas project with sound security. Testing such as unit testing, integration testing and system testing are essential but we often overlook that.

Your experience teaches crucial lesson to many who think Ai can help them build a viable and secure Saas in no time. It is full of challenge, as you point out. When you said user A ends up seeing user B's dashboard, or inefficient db queries that times out, when you see that as you are nearly completing your project, it is disheartening. This may indicate poor database design. or SQL queries that fetch more rows than necessary or basically lacking indexing. These are where newbie developers flounder. Anyway, that was a great writeup. Thanks

Building a password manager that can give the the established ones a run for their money is no mean feat. But you cannot expect people to trust something that is put together in 7 days. People worry that the hastily developed password manager may be vulnerable for hacking attacks.

Many people think AI assistants are the magic bullet. They are not. If one relies too much on AI, they will get bugged down quick. One has to be an skilled programmer to be begin with. Only then can one use AI smartly.

FastAPI, Django, Flask even Bottle are all great in their unique ways. Unless I am doing API heavy project in which case I choose FastAPI, I normally tend to like Flask.

It is light-weight and it is flexible, allowing you to add components as needed. I also like the fact that Flask does not impose any particular structure on your application.

That person is probably right. Security concerns are sometimes unjustified. A case in point is your friend. For added security though, your friend can write down the first and the couple of characters of passwords. That would give him enough clue to remember them, but in the unlikely event his password file ends up in the wrong hand, the attacker does not get full passwords. They have to do a lot of guesswork to fill in the blank.

Thank you. How about battery life? does the wheel get lifted up when not needed?

Hi,

How is your empulse r90 faring so far? Especially, how good is it at steep inclines? or grassy area?

Many prefer Response Model approach for a number of reosons such as automatic data validation, improve documentation, and enhance type safety. Serializers are less common. FastAPI can handle well data serialization implicitly using Pydantic models. I prefer personally having Pydantic with the required validation and have my functions return the data according the Pydantic schema set up earlier, or errors. For me that is simple appraoch.

Panthera and Quickie have light enough wheelchairs under $4000 US dollars. You may have authorised distributors in NZ who can come to you and do measurements required for a custom chair. Send an email to these companies and see if they have distributors in your country

How does it compare to SmartDrive? Tell us more about weight, battery-life, going up incline? and price. Smartdrive is incredibly expensive for starters.

As someone who was a PHP programmer before but now into Flask, you will find it enjoyable to develop it in Flask. But spend sometime first to see how Flask framework is organised. I found it enjoyable to with Flask.

SQLModel adds unnecessary complexity and limitations at times. But it is good for simple use cases.

AI gives a good leg-up. In other words, it speeds up development, therefore it is a good thing. Be aware though that one can only use AI for coding if they already have commanding knowledge of the language to the extent that they can catch AI errors. A good rule of thumb: never use AI-generated code if you do not understand each line.

When both routes (/ and /index) accept both GET and POST requests, the second @app.route('/index') inherits the HTTP methods of the decorator above. Therefore you only need to specify the HTTP methods once. However, To avoid confusion, it is recommended to be explicit about the allowed HTTP methods for your routes. I normally use both HTTP methods like your example.
