I poked around at the code and I like some of the concepts here. Introducing jinjapy as a jinja template with frontmatter allowing me to write python code is useful in some scenarios.

I got most excited about sqlorm (https://github.com/hyperflask/sqlorm). It is way too early to feel comfortable adopting this, but I really like the concepts. I use pydantic a lot, I would love to see the SQL as docstrings as a pydantic extension. I get tired of writing serializers everywhere and would prefer to have a single pydantic model to reference throughout my codebase. Primarily I use Django, but these days am using less and less of the framework batteries outside of the ORM.

flask-openapi3 looks good but has only 246 stars. Would be worried using it in production. flask-pydantic has no openapi tie-in. Oh look, there's me bumping the openapi request that's been an issue since 2020: https://github.com/pallets-eco/flask-pydantic/issues/17 which has an open PR since 2022. It's possible between Quart and svcs (for DI) and some Pydantic/Marshmallow/OpenAPI extension you might be able to mimic…

At $JOB we're using both flask-pydantic and flask-openapi via those libraries and they are serving us just fine.

But yes async does not matter to me.

Hello, author of hyperflask here. I'm happy to finally announce this project as I've been working on it for quite some time. I made an announcement post here: https://hyperflask.dev/blog/2025/10/14/launch-annoncement/ I love to hear feedback!

yo, i'm the htmx guy

this looks awesome!

For some reason every time project has a starfield demo, I keep looking for the speed toggle somewhere, and I also expect it to follow my mouse cursor. Maybe in the next version of the Hyperflask website! However, the project itself looks great. I love Htmx, although I have to admit I started looking at Datastar recently.

https://nova.app/ still the best I've seen.

Flask is missing... pydantic, dependency injection, openapi, swagger, real async.

Of course you can assemble FastAPI scrim scratch, that’s not the point. The selling point is everything integrated, like Django.

You mean like this one? https://data-star.dev/

Spot on! That's why I remembered it so well and I guess associated it with HTMX

Thanks ! I've introduced a lot of stuff with this project and I'm glad someone noticed :D

I've also submitted SQLORM on HN if it's of interest to others: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45607688

In my experience with Django the admin scaffolding saves a lot of work building UI for diagnostic and customer service workflows. Projects on other frameworks that I've been involved with end up rebuilding a lot of that stuff in their own codebase, more work and often not as good of a result. There are a lot of aspects of frameworks like Hyperflask that look attractive relative to Django but foregoing the admin frame…

There is Flask-Admin but it's more bare bone than Django Admin. I plan to tackle the problem in the future.
