App Generator - Code a simple Dashboard using AppSeed

Hello coders!

This article explains how to use AppSeed to generate a simple Flask Dashboard using a visual interface. Users can access the service without an account, generate a new project based on their selections and download the code from Github (MIT License).

Thanks for reading!

Here is the Youtube video that explains the process.


โœจ How to use the service

The generator can be used by anyone without an account and the sources can be accessed in real-time on Github. Based on the permissive license, source code can be used in commercial projects and eLearning activities.

Let's reiterate the steps presented in the video:


๐Ÿ‘‰ The User selects the design - Datta Able in our DEMO

๐Ÿ‘‰ Configure the product: Database and Deployment

๐Ÿ‘‰ Confirm the action and wait to download the sources:

In less than 1 minute the sources should be available on Github for download. Probably the easier way to get started in a local environment is to use the Docker set up. To use the project, just type a single command in the root of the project:

$ docker-compose up --build 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Once the command is executed, Datta Able should be accessible in the browser:

UI Templates are good, but can you create industry specific Starterkits also?

Eg: A Backend for AirBnB, A Backend for a multi tenant saas, A Vehicle Fleet management systems with GPS related plugins etc, An ecommerce platform like shopify with plugins/modules etc, A Backend for NFT Marketplace, A Backend for Whitelbel Game Portals [gamepix.com]

Tight integration with Firebase database and cloudflare
kepler.app/ like fluid UI frontend drag and drop designer

Mobile first Svelte Templates...
