I wanted something better than Django. So I built this. IMO it's already there from a technical perspective but the documentation needs some more work. Would greatly appreciate any feedback!

I used padrino for a while, because it advertised itself as half-way between sinatra and rails. I liked it, but I don't think the framework ever had enough support to be able to rely on it, and since it's not well known I wouldn't pick it again in an environment where someone else had to code on it.

Yea, I definitely need to put more effort into promotion and getting more active users.

I'm not familiar with padrino, but at least for Flask Unchained, it's literally Flask under the hood - so my project is less a new framework but more of an improved way to use a highly popular existing framework. I'm hopeful this distinction can help with adoption.

Yeah Padrino is similar, it’s sinatra under the hood.
