Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • cpython

    The Python programming language (by ahgamut)

  • Author here. In 2007 when Django was starting to get popular there was a website called instantdjango.com where you could go and download a zip that would let you run Django and Python on Windows, with everything configured nicely.

    I only used that version because it is the official one supported by cosmopolitan, but it is also possible to use newer versions with the same approach, for example Python 3.11 and Django 4: https://github.com/ahgamut/cpython/tree/cosmo-djngo (Website has been updated to point at that one).

  • fastapi

    FastAPI framework, high performance, easy to learn, fast to code, ready for production

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • flask-mail

    Discontinued Flask-Mail adds SMTP mail sending to your Flask applications

  • django-ninja

    đź’¨ Fast, Async-ready, Openapi, type hints based framework for building APIs

  • I find https://django-ninja.rest-framework.com/ even more awesome these days because it natively integrates with Django ORM, which I prefer over alternatives such as SQLAlchemy.

  • Masonite

    The Modern And Developer Centric Python Web Framework. Be sure to read the documentation and join the Discord channel for questions: https://discord.gg/TwKeFahmPZ

  • I would suggest Masonite [0]. It’s lightweight enough to replace Flask and has a plethora of built in features if you need to build a “production-ready” app. It tends to imitate Laravel in its project setup and naming conventions which, depending on your preference, can either be a boon or a bane.

    Open Source realtime backend in 1 file
