The companion example application for Miguel Grinberg's Flask Mega-Tutorial, a complete microblogging web app built with Python and Flask. It maps to the 2024 edition of the tutorial and demonstrates a full-featured web application from scratch.

Use cases

  • learn flask web development step by step
  • example of user login and authentication in flask
  • see how to add full-text search to a flask app
  • reference for deploying flask apps with docker
  • study a complete python web application codebase
  • learn background jobs and apis in flask

When to choose

  • you are following the Flask Mega-Tutorial and want the matching code
  • you want a realistic, well-structured example Flask application to study
  • you need a reference implementation covering auth, databases, email, search, and deployment in Flask

When to avoid

  • you need a production-ready microblogging platform to deploy as-is
  • you are not using Python or Flask
  • you want a minimal starter template rather than a full tutorial application
