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.


✨ 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:


👉 The User selects the design - Datta Able in our DEMO

App Generator Datta Able - Select Design


👉 Select the preferred backend

App Generator Datta Able - Select Backend Framework


👉 Configure the product: Database and Deployment

App Generator Datta Able - Customize Product


👉 Confirm the action and wait to download the sources:

App Generator Datta Able - Generate the Product


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
