Flask Material Kit PRO - Feedback #24

Open app-generator opened 2 years ago

app-generator commented 2 years ago

I got Flask/Material Kit 2 Pro, it's okay but I'm not exactly thrilled...

As a developer what I want is a quick start skeleton with typical app starter web pages. What I got was a complete implementation of the product demo. This is NICE to have as an inspirational reference, but it is not a developer app starter, IMHO. I don't need to see a "BUY NOW" button for what I already have.

Using this generated app as a development starter requires too much time to remove unwanted code. I was able to figure out the code, but it's way too much stuff to read for just getting started.

For development what I want is the "super simple structure" as pictured in your README. (There are a few needed things missing from that structure as it is presented: Missing includes: sidebar.html; base-fullscreen.html. Missing page: home/404-page.html.)

It seems to me that there should be two directories, /app and /app_demo with a run.py and a run_demo.py using different ports.

app/templates/home would contain pages like: index.html; about.html; contact.html; privacy.html; etc. A few simple applets could be included like:

As expected, Bootstrap 5 and Material Kit 2 are fantastic.
