A(nother) Flask template for cookiecutter.
Modified from the version authored by Github user: sloria
The primary goal is to have a different logical split of files (models, views and services instead of public, user, etc), which is purely personal preference.
Secondary is a slight expansion in scope to include other common pages and functionality, which is in progress. So far we have completed:
- Forgotten password handling
- Username change
- Password change
- Unsubscribe
- Google Analytics Integration
- Heroku Integration
In progress are:
- Simple text and external image blog powered by markdown
For the future are:
- Sample contact form and page
- Basic Admin UI
- Example T&Cs
- Social Links/Integration
- Login outside of the header (maybe modal)
- Commenting on blog via discus or similar
- Etc.
A live example can be found here: CookieCutter Flask Demo
If you are interested in contributing please let me know, any of the future goals listed above would be great to help with.
