CharlieDavies··on Flask Mega-Tutorial (2017)
I agree with you entirely about the issues with the docs, there is no API reference, and Tiangolo has rejected PRs with automated documentation before. I by no means think the project is perfect, but I think it is a better starting point for most small projects. I just don't see any advantage to Flask at this point unless you specifically want to use one of tiny handful of Flask-X packages that are actually worthwhile.

But if you use FastAPI and completely ignore the async aspects, you get some handy tools out of the box, Swagger/Pydantic integration being the big one. Then you're in roughly the same place as Flask where you're just using general python packages. I struggle to see any advantages to Flask vs one of Django or FastAPI at this point.

Works fine for me on Vivaldi. I get the "Press esc to exit full screen mode" message but see the colours just fine.
