Fun article - thanks.

The reference to Flask being a pain in the arse made me chuckle. I am a hobbyist python author and have been using Flask for years, doing exactly what you wrote about, with awkward front-end templates and handwritten SQL queries and the rest.

I did some basic tutorials on Vue a few weeks ago and it was absolutely mind-blowingly straightforward in comparison!

Excuse my naive question but how do the 2 compare? Flask == backend, Vue == frontend. Am I missing something here?

You can use Flask to render your friend-end HTML and handle form submissions. JavaScript doesn’t have to be involved at all.

You can also render your friend end using JS and interact with services written in Flask.

thanks
