Please give feedback on my open source project's README
https://github.com/nuvic/flask_for_startups
The project is a modern Flask (Python web framework) boilerplate using a services approach. As you can see, it's supposed to be a lead up to the info product (book) that is linked in the readme.
Some questions:
- Is it clear what it does?
- Does it make you want to try it out?
- Does it make you want to check out the book? Why or why not?
Thank you!
Yes, I think it's clear. Maybe in the first moment I though it might have more functionality like payments, but after a while I think I understood it.
For some reason, I missed your book link, and had to search for it, maybe my mind was skipping to soon to content.
If I understand it Flask doesn't give users that good structure to begin with (like Rails), so that's why they should start the way you describe.
I wish you good luck ;)
Thanks for the feedback! Good point, I'll need to make the book link more visible.
It’s a template targeting indiehackers and startups.
No. I think a fully-featured framework like Django is better. Personally, I lean into the JS tech stack because it’s easier to write and share code in the same language.
I like having a demo (live url) and photos / videos to know what I’ll be building
Great point, I'll think about how to add more media to show it.
Hi @nuvic,
here is my 2 cents:
Is it clear what it does?
Yes, it is.
Does it make you want to try it out?
Hard to say as I am not your target group. But in general I think it's great when developers can see complete examples. Also, you have very narrow target group - startup founders/indiehackers - which is great.
Does it make you want to check out the book? Why or why not?
Yes, I wanted to check your book but there is no free chapter available. I believe potential buyers would appreciate to look inside.
Your book's site has great copy! Thank you for the detailed review. I'll definitely add a free sample of the book :)
