  1. web_app_from_scratch

    One script for every web framework which sets up a minimal web app with routing, templates and users.

    How do you mean Django is heavy? When I think about heavy, I think about how hard it would be to replace the framework with my own code in the future. So I don't like magic. Both, Django and Flask seem to have a similar amount of magic to me. But I might be wrong. I tried Flask only very briefly.

    Me and other devs maintain this repo which shows how to get from a fresh Debian install to a running web app via different frameworks:

    https://github.com/no-gravity/web_app_from_scratch

    As you can see, it also has a Flask version.

    Contributions are welcome!

  3. docuseal

    Open source DocuSign alternative. Create, fill, and sign digital documents ✍️

    I mostly agree with the author. After working a couple of years with React client render and API a pure server render seems to be a way more productive. For my recent OSS project (https://github.com/docusealco/docuseal) I use server render everywhere except of the 2 most complex/dynamic UI parts (drag&drop form builder and the signing form). I think just figuring out which approach fits best for which part of the software is the most important thing, doing both SSR and CSR in a single project is completely fine when done right.

    ✨ Hacker News, but refined — Interface tweaks and features to make the HN experience better

    Not that this should be the answer, but there are a lot of HN browser plugins. Most have at least some level of theming and inline commenting. I'm currently a fan of Refined Hacker News (no affiliation) - https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news - but I'm sure there are others just as good out there.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
