When it fits — and when it doesn’t

Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Frequent breaking changes between versions

   v0.1 to v0.2 migration required rewriting chain definitions, causing significant refactoring efforts.

2. 02

   Limited documentation and examples

   The official documentation lacks detailed examples for complex use cases, leading to a steep learning curve.

3. 03

   Small community and limited support

   GitHub issues are not always promptly addressed, and the user community is relatively small compared to other Flask extensions.

What it does well

• Integration with webassets for efficient asset management.

• Supports minification and concatenation of CSS/JS files.

• Flexible configuration options to customize asset processing.
