Hello Coders!

This article presents two open-source starters powered by **Bootstrap 5** (`frontend layer`) and **Python** for the `backend logic`. Both starters are free and the permissive license allows the usage for unlimited hobby & commercial end-products. The apps might be used to bootstrap fast a new presentation website or simply for eLearning activities by beginners.

- 👉 [Flask Material Kit](https://appseed.us/apps/flask-apps/flask-material-kit) - Product page

## ✨ App Features 

Both projects share a common set of basic features like authentication, database, a modular codebase and Docker support, all this bundled on top of a nice & free **Material Kit** `Bootstrap 5` design  

- 👉 `Up-to-date` dependencies
- 👉 Simple `Gulp` tooling for SCSS compilation 
- 👉 DB Tools: SQLite, ORM
- 👉 `Authentication` Flow: Login/Register
- 👉 Docker Support: Gunicorn/Nginx as a reverse proxy

## ✨ [Django Material Kit](https://appseed.us/product/django-material-kit)

Probably the most easier way to start and use the product in a local environment is via the Docker scripts provided `out-of-the-box`. 

**Step #1** - Clone the [source code](https://github.com/app-generator/django-material-kit) 

```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/app-generator/django-material-kit.git
$ cd django-material-kit
```

---

**Step #2** - Start in Docker

```bash
$ docker-compose up --build 
```

If all goes well, we should be able at this point to access the app in the browser, register new users and authenticate.

## ✨ [Flask Material Kit](https://appseed.us/apps/flask-apps/flask-material-kit)

For newcomers, **Flask** is a lightweight WSGI web application framework. It is designed to make getting started quick and easy, with the ability to scale up to complex applications. 

The Docker set up is identical with the previous starter and with a good internet connection, the app should be up & running in less then 1 minute. 

**Step #1** - Clone the [source code](https://github.com/app-generator/flask-material-kit)

```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/app-generator/flask-material-kit.git
$ cd django-material-kit
```

---

**Step #2** - Start in Docker

```bash
$ docker-compose up --build 
```
