It's all grown up now. Runs on Django for the admin panel. Not that flask ever failed. Just became easier to manage the user base that way.

because of Django admin? any downsides/notable warnings for people considering Flask v Django? any migration guide that's helpful?

To limit the amount of languages we support I recently rewrote one of our backend services from Go (with SQLC) to Python. I hadn't worked with Python "web" for a while and started with Litestar and also their Advanced-Alchemy. Part of the reason was that their DTO's and dataclasses seemed like a good way to skip Pydantic. Anyway, once models became complext it wasn't easy to skip Pydantic and it also wasn't easy to deal with Advanced Alchemy. One afternoon I got so annoyed with it I rewrote everything with Django Ninja. It took me 4-5 hours that evening to recreate all the previous weeks stuff with Django because of how good the batteries included are.

I'm not sure I'd ever use any other web framework than Django going forward, and I'm not using half of it (including the admin). I think Litestar is great by the way, Django is just so easy to produce with.

ok so the recommendation is use Django Ninja? first am hearing of it.

Go with what you understand easier. No downsides to making an app in either, other than the logo.

After sleeping, this is my old man yelling at clouds moment. I'm glad they are trying something new.
