flask-setup 0.7

A simple tool to help you setup a flask project quickly

Flask-Setup

Flask-Setup is an open-source and user-friendly tool designed to help you set up a Flask project in under 10 minutes. With a single fs command, it takes care of all your CRUD operations (HTTP methods) such as post, get, put, and delete automatically.

Imagine skipping the tedious setup process and diving straight into building your application's features. Flask-Setup does the heavy lifting, so you can focus on what truly matters rather than setting up boilerplate code.
