It's bizarre there are few or no offerings in that elusive middle ground. Rails & Django seems a little heavy. Flask & Express a little lite.
I've never written an app that did not need user management, sessions, admin, db access, form processing, views/templating. Web2py is the best I've found (python).
- girvo 9y agoThis is one of the reasons I liked Silex back when I was a PHP dev. It’s a simple micro framework, but built on the same underlying components as Symfony, so porting libraries from one to the other is simple. Add a tiny bit of structure to take the guesswork out of how to lay out your app (or module — it’s very easy to load one Silex app into another), and it nicely meets that “in between” you’re talking about! https://github.com/studionone/flint/blob/master/README.md https://github.com/studionone/flint/blob/master/README.md

- oneweekwonder 9y agoWill the needs not be satisfied with flask ext, approved or not[0]? For example: user management, sessions, admin(flask-admin), db access(SQLAlchemy), form processing(wtforms), views/templating(jinja). [0]: http://flask.pocoo.org/extensions/ http://flask.pocoo.org/extensions/
- pbreit 9y agoYes, I think you could definitely piece something together. And I suspect there's a starter-kit/cookiecutter somewhere that I'll look for.
