Rank not captured·Top 100·All-time stars·Cached ranking snapshot·
The Python micro framework for building web applications.
First read
Strong enough to justify a deeper source review
pallets/flask looks visible enough to matter, active enough to trust for a next pass, and adopted enough to merit checking maintainers, releases, and real integration cost in the source repository.
Visible
72.2K public stars in the current GitStar snapshot.
Recognizable in the ecosystem
Active
Last commit Aug 11, 2026.
Fresh activity
Adopted
pypi gives the strongest production-style signal.
7.4M/week
Confidence
One or more key signals are partial, so GitStar keeps the interpretation conservative.

Compare lens
pallets/quart and bottlepy/bottle are the closest comparison targets GitStar found. A side-by-side comparison usually tells you more than a single raw rank.

Method note
Balanced means GitStar sees both meaningful package adoption and enough current star velocity or scale to avoid reading the repo as purely niche. Compare it against other Python repos before treating stars as a moat.

About This Page
This page provides a quick overview of pallets/flask based on GitStar's cached data. The signal chart reconstructs approximate checkpoints from current stars plus cached daily, weekly, and monthly star deltas, so it is best read as directional context rather than as a precise historical audit log.
