Build a Python App for Dashboard with Authentication and CRU

[huncho120]

Build a new application using Python for a dashboard environment. The app should support user authentication, basic CRUD functionality, and provide a responsive, user-friendly interface. Please suggest the initial architecture, key features, and Python frameworks best suited for this type of app.

I’d be happy to help with this.
I can propose a simple, production-ready architecture using FastAPI (backend), JWT-based authentication, and SQLAlchemy for CRUD, with a lightweight frontend (e.g. Jinja + HTMX or React if needed).

Let me know if you’d like me to draft an initial design or open a PR with a starter scaffold.

For the authentication part, we should define a User model that includes fields like username, email, and hashed_password. It would be useful to implement a password reset functionality using JWTs to enhance security. Additionally, consider using a library like fastapi-security to streamline the authentication process. How do you envision managing user roles and permissions in this setup?
