The problem
Every new Flask project starts the same way: wire up the app factory, settle the config, add migrations, work out why the imports have gone circular. I had written that same scaffolding enough times to want it once, properly.
What it gives you
An app-factory layout with blueprints, config management across environments, database setup with migrations, health-check endpoints, structured error handling and logging, a test suite, and a Dockerfile. The structure is arranged so the circular-import problem does not arise in the first place.
Why open source it
The setup is not specific to anything I am building, so there was no reason to keep it private. It is on GitHub and open to contributors.
